FIRST LOVE 1

First piece of the First Love series, where innocence and spontaneous gestures give rise to a scene that is as absurd as it is endearing. Against a serene background, a child appears in profile, urinating naturally while drawing a heart on the ground with his pee. Nothing explicit is seen, only the pure and symbolic act. In the background, a girl covers her face, mortified by what she is witnessing, caught between laughter and modesty. With this piece, Alberto León inaugurates the series by portraying childhood love as something clumsy, free, and genuine, where romanticism mixes with the play and irreverence of the early years.

FIRST LOVE 2

The second piece in the First Love series, where blue dominates the space, enveloping the scene in an atmosphere of innocence and calm. A boy, with complete naiveté, shows his “little bird” to a girl, without the painting revealing anything explicit. She observes him with that clean and shameless curiosity that only exists in childhood. In the background, a grandmother—a distant witness to the moment—throws her hands to her head, unable to believe what she is seeing. With this piece, Alberto León plays with the first discovery of the body, the contrast of gazes between generations, and the tender humor that is born from the everyday.

FIRST LOVE 3

Against a vibrant fuchsia background, with splashes that resemble heartbeats or exploding emotions, an absurd yet tender scene unfolds. In the center, a girl sits on the toilet with an expression of total surprise: she has run out of toilet paper. In front of her, a boy kneels as if about to declare his love, in a pose of eternal love, but instead of a ring, he offers her a brand new roll of toilet paper.

With his eyes closed and nose covered, the boy surrenders to the heroic act with a mixture of tenderness, humor, and absolute respect. It is a scene that turns an everyday and embarrassing moment into a pure gesture of care and complicity. Alberto León transforms the scatological into something almost romantic, reminding us that love and empathy are also found in the most ridiculous… and most human moments.

CORONAMOR

In the midst of the 2020 pandemic, “Coronamor” is a hug for the soul in times of distance. In the middle of the storm, two children jump together, and their joy draws a heart on the ground. It is the innocence that does not understand viruses, but does understand love. A vibrant message: even on the toughest days, affection and play are still a way to resist.

FIRST LOVE 4

A girl tenderly gazes at a rose, wrapped in the jacket of the boy who, with a protective gesture, has put it on her to keep her warm. At her feet, he carefully ties her shoelaces, casting a curious and mischievous glance. It is a scene that exudes innocence: first love seen with sweetness, amidst gestures of care and discovery.
