LEG PROJECT Alberto Ramirez is a spanish painter who specialises in large scale portraits of famous people…

The LEG project began in Barcelona in 2005 as a result of a collaboration between Spanish artists Alberto Ramírez and David Partida.The friendship between David and Alberto goes way back to their childhood. They both spent the first years of their lives in Salou – a tourist spot that watched them grow up. They got to know each other when they were as young as nine years old, and soon became fast friends. As the years passed their friendship became stronger.

In the summer of 1991, both aged 16, they return to their respective places of birth. David to Vitoria and Alberto to Madrid. Consequently, their friendship was put on hold for about 15 years.In the meantime Alberto returned to Madrid to continue his studies. There he became familiure with modern techniques in the world of animation and Graphic Design. He took a degree in Public Relations at a University of Madrid. In 1999 he went to live in Majorca, where he spent the following four years. During this time he came across the local artist Juan Vich in the heart of the capital Palma.

Alberto acquired new skills in the art of landscape and in “everyday” life paintings. Influenced by impressionism, he painted a large quantity of urban and naturalistic paintings as he frequently visited the surrounding villages and countryside of the island. In December 2003 drawn by the new avanguard art, Alberto made his way to Barcelona, where he worked in different studios and exhibited his paintings with great success.

In April of 2005 David moved to Barcelona and the friendship between these two friends was revived. In this great city, David and Alberto, having previonsly launched their own independent art careers, decided to merge their respective talents and founded LEG. In July of the same year their first joint work was created; a nine metre long canvas. The painting, known as “Las Caras” (The Faces), symbolizes the starting point of something new and unique.

During those first years, they worked on a large scale, the result of a frenetic painting activity which converted their canvases into a pulsating moving-picture show, burstingwith energy, of Barcelona’s night life. Especially of note are the portraits of iconic 20th century personalities. These paintings brought them acclaim, both from the critics and the general public, and their fame began to spread internationally.

During those early years, they exhibited mostly in Northern Europe and in particular Scandinavia, where their unique way of flooding a canvas with colour and light is in high demand.

In April 2009, the duo decided to go their separate ways, in order for each artist to futher develop his own take on the project.
