Leon Simonis

Leon Simonis lives and studies in Vienna, Austria.

With an extensive background in Fashion, Leon works where sculpture, installation and wearable art meet. In his work, he often deals with his own societal reality as a Queer person, topics of fetishism and intimacy, as well as nature and botany, evolution and science-fiction based world building and escapism, in an often theatrical and storytelling fashion. Leon draws inspiration from the mystical and otherworldly side of humanity and nature. In his work, Leon likes to contrast oftentimes darker subjects with very fragile and delicate craftsthemship to visualize duality.
