“I may make it into the galleries, but I will always come back to a wall.”
Since 2016, lé dieguê began painting murals professionally. His passion for color, academic approach, and skills afforded him impactful opportunities to create notable murals in cities such as Savannah, Miami, Caracas, and Paris.
Selected Murals
The Stables Project
This mural represents lé dieguê’s departure from Savannah in 2023 and was painted with the collaboration of The Stabbles Savanah. Here, the artist composes an energizing, dynamic 15 x 15 ft. wall. In this piece, the artist merges his interest in op art and graffiti.
Midtown Savannah
Collaboration with local artists Adolfo Alvarado @adolfocreates and Alexis Javier “Aje” @savage in midtown Savannah. This mural commemorates the voices of legendary singer Selena and the Venezuelan poet Rafael Cadenas, who had just won the Miguel de Cervantes award. A vibrant mix of cultures and artistic disciplines. You can find this mural by Bull St Tacos in the Starland District.
Flowganometric Composition
Before moving out of Campbellsville, Kentucky, lé dieguê wanted to leave a bigger mark in the town. Literally. He had painted several murals already, but most of them were focused on the school’s preferences. However, in the fall of 2018, the Theater Department commissioned him to paint a 25 × 60 ft wall in the back of their building. For this mural, lé dieguê was given full creative freedom, enabling him to design it based on his own investigations.
Flowganometric Falcon
North Hardin Christian High School commissioned lé dieguê to paint a 70 × 30 ft wall with a golden and green Falcon. This mural, to date, is the largest he has painted; it depicts a glamorous green-and-gold falcon that overlooks the school’s gymnasium. This piece was painted freehand in 2019.
Georganometric Element for Beijing Restaurant
This mural is painted at Beijing Restaurant’s first location in eastern Caracas. With a complex mix of shapes, colors, and patterns, the artist captures the energy, color, and aesthetic of the asian fusion found on the menu. The mural encompasses rhythms, flavors, and controlled chaos. Its intricacy is a clear depiction of Caracas’ tempo and pace. Providing a visual component to the restaurant’s ambience.
Imposing Timidness
While completing his Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design at Campbellsville University in Kentucky, lé dieguê ventured into large-scale murals. This allowed him to diversify his portfolio by creating artworks that differed from his usual styles yet still resonated with the school’s visual identity. In the fall of 2017, lé dieguê was contacted by the volleyball team to paint a mural in their new gym to intimidate visiting teams while protecting the home team, the Campbellsville Tigers. The color choice in this mural depicts the school’s color scheme.
