Blush Nebula

Leo Villareal’s Nebulae (2021 – 2023) are wall-based light sculptures that evoke the dynamism of space through interplays of color and shape. The ongoing series is informed by celestial imagery, utilizing custom software to generate unique compositions. Often described as ‘digital campfires,’ Villareal’s artworks, such as those in the Nebula series, draw people together.

The Nebulae sculptures emit mesmerizing, diffused light pulsating in vibrant hues of color. The artist creates specific and unique sequencing for each artwork through code that is generative and visceral, like nature itself.
