| Historical Description: | |
Conveying the illusion of motion, Nierman utilizes waspy strokes of vivid color to convey this sense of "flight sensation." The center of the piece is illuminated in white, relaying the impression that the viewer is moving quickly through a tunnel, towards a brilliantly lit destination. On either side of this luminous white orb, strokes of paint in browns, blacks, and dark teals expand outwards, reminiscent of large wings. These strokes are not clearly delineated but rather slightly transparent, further contributing to this sense of motion, as if these "wings" are flapping up and down. Nierman speckles the painting with areas of bright red, adding a flash color to capture the viewer's eye. This original oil on masonite painting is hand signed by Leonardo Nierman (Mexico City, 1932 - ) in white paint in the lower left. Also titled "Flight Sensation" in black marker on the verso.

Biography of Leonardo Nierman
Leonardo Nierman (1932 - )
Leonardo Nierman was born in Mexico City on November 1, 1932. As a child, he was convinced that music was his true calling and dedicated himself to studying the violin. However, after listening to a recording of himself playing in concert, he decided that he was not talented enough to pursue music and turned to art instead. Nierman, on his artist site, states that music influenced his art greatly. He states, “Music and painting are very much alike – both have tonalities, rhythms, high-intensity areas, and resting areas.
Nierman first viewed art only as a hobby and continued to study business in school. He graduated from the Accounting School of the Autonomous University of Mexico with a Bachelors Degree in business in 1951, but soon after dedicated himself to painting. He is best known for his abstract landscape paintings, full of color and movement and often cosmic or terrestrial in nature. In 1972, he had a major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City and from that time on has had exhibition venues throughout the world including the United States, Italy, Israel, Australia, Spain and Japan.
