Leon`s soft pastels also depict diverse forms of plant life, almost emulating the microscopically detailed botanical studies.

Leon, hailing from Thrissur district, completed BFA (Painting) from Govt. College of Fine Arts, Thiruvananthapuram in 2001 and MFA (Painting) from University of Hyderabad in 2003.
