LEISE supports emerging artists working in the fields of fine arts and related artistic disciplines, including painting, music, photography, performance, writing and interdisciplinary practices. We believe there is no single path to building an artistic career. Each practice evolves through its own unique intentions, challenges, values, relationships and opportunities.
Working between editorial portraiture and documentary aesthetics, Larissa creates imagery that feels intimate, cinematic and quietly bold.
With a strong eye for composition, texture and emotion, she balances aesthetics with authenticity, creating images that feel both intentional and effortless.
Always drawn to atmosphere and human presence, her work aims to create imagery that feels timeless, personal and quietly memorable.
Mondragón’s practice engages with contemporary reflections on the human condition, focusing on the pressures of constant visibility on social media, the desire to escapes from one’s own body, and the constant feeling of burnout produced by hyperconnectivity and high-performance social expectations.
His paintings often incorporate references to popular culture and diverse mythologies —especially Aztec—, which he reinterprets through a fragmented, psychologically charged lens. Through these concerns, he’s been developing a body of work in which figures occupy claustrophobic spaces that mirror the psychological compression of the present moment.
