Artist:
Leon Belaunzarán (Mexican, born 1944) is well-known for capturing the bustling energy of traditional Mexican street markets - using an abstract impressionist style. He applied thick oil paints (called impasto) to represent colorful market awnings, hanging fruits, and crowds of people. The drips and splashes you see were his way of adding movement and life to the scene.
