Leo Ray was born in 1951 in Vilnius, Lithuania. He has been living in Tel Aviv since 1991. Leo Ray combines figures, objects and symbols of a personal unique language. Using flat, abstract backgrounds, his objects appear to float  : grotesque, contrived imaginary figures painted in saturated colors. These images exhibit an unusual insight on the human condition. Leo Ray's paintings form two groups. The first group consists of conventional rectaliniar canvases. The second group consists of large works formed by canvases of various sizes assembled into one piece, creating a structure of virtually indefinable shapes. These shapes are actually complex sentences conveying a complete message. 1986 – The Baltic Triennial of Medal Art – The Jury Diploma.1987 – The Lithuanian Triennial of Medal Art – The jury prize.2000 – The International Small Engraving Salon, Baia Mare, 1st jury prize.
