Abstract art is a way of expressing my ideas and emotions that dictate me and cannot be controlled by my mind. Abstract art is a process of surprise with the image and behaviour of colours that connect to the viewers.  - Noel Ed de Leon, 2011

A Definition of Life

“Life As I Know It” began to evolve soon after I started my own family. Together with my loving and understanding wife, I experienced both happiness and hardship trying to work and raise our children in this country.

I don’t have anything except from them, my family, which I called my own.

This exhibition is my way of sharing my passion of being a family man and an artist.

It has been quite a while since I started to collect antiques and vintage memorabilia (otherwise known as ‘found objects’). I found them as good pieces of art, and I take an interest in militaria history and objects. You will notice that found objects feature prominently throughout the exhibition. What material I used in general, inherits and expresses the conditions of how we have coped as a family.

I take this opportunity to show you what I feel and who I am.

I am Noel Ed De Leon. Filipino Artist and family man for a lifetime.
