In 2016, lé dieguê was provided a designated space on Campbellsville University’s campus to practice and polish his spray-painting skills. His use of this controversial medium was the talk of the town, not for negative reasons, but for the total opposite. Locals and visitors reacted positively to his artworks and to his daring, vibrant use of color. On this wall, lé dieguê painted more than 10 murals, completing two separate series: Heritage and Gratitude. In this beautification mural project, without precedent in the school’s history, his dream of becoming a professional painter had begun to materialize.

In his latest visits to Caracas, lé dieguê painted several public and private murals around the country. His desire to paint was translated indoors and outdoors, allowing his work to be seen by a larger audience. 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.

Between 2016 and 2018, lé dieguê ventured into large-scale murals while completing his Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design at Campbellsville University in Kentucky, USA. 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.

An essential factor in lé dieguê’s career is his community work. In 2018, after painting various murals for the community of El Calvario in Caracas, he wanted to paint one more piece that could be more representative of the area. For that, he decided to paint Chromometry El Calvario 1, a piece inspired by a picture of a gap between the buildings in the adjacent alleyways. In that way, he invited the community to look beyond their surroundings. Giving a novel way to see light and color, creating a new bridge for them to connect with art and their own community.
