Idea - place - space art - technology - union - need PASSION.
Who are we? What is the living painting?
We are 3 friends, who had the right idea at the right time and place. People who had shared time and for whom, without looking for anything, one day, in an ordinary conversation, the stars began to align, and as if by magic, as they rearranged themselves, they left the sky clear and suddenly the idea was there, for us to catch it and take it. Taming it has not been, nor is it, easy. We share affinities, and carrying it out is taking one hundred per cent of the artistic skills of two disorganised heads. And to balance them, one great organised mind able to speak the language of computers as if it were creating sublime music every time it sits in front of the screen. But the union... what unites us is passion. While making this project we have seen surprised smiles, curious eyes that seemed to have already stopped dreaming, and words full of art in mouths we never imagined.
In "a living painting" we have given it everything to bring art closer as it has never been done before, unafraid to lean on the new technological advances we have today within reach of a hand, or of a finger... We do not only want to show the world as our minds see it; we want to share it, so that you can live it and, above all, enjoy it.
LIENZO VIVO: Painting that answers back.
Lienzo Vivo is a project that began in 2026. It is made up of a team of three people who create the basic pillars of the initiative:
Elisa Leono creates a work and its story, into which she pours all her experiences. As an artist she lays the primitive base of the process. An explorer of the imaginary, her role is to reproduce the artistic idea in a conventional, physical way so as to convey it in a painting, getting her hands stained with colour from oil pastels and acrylics.
Alberto Díaz captures all those concepts and begins to build the invisible threads of the composition with his more than twenty years of experience creating technology projects. As a software engineer he presses the keys needed to make the development of the process tangible; as a weaver of worlds he makes the painting no longer just send out a message and wait, but become a living canvas that answers.
Víctor Martínez, the person who seems to be in nothing and is in everything. He has spent a whole life transforming his surroundings with his artistic skills. He is the craftsman of the soul who supports every phase of the process, helps with every new need that comes up and does not rest until every detail is polished, drawing fully on his wide experience as a themed designer.
Artistic manifesto.
You can explore two works that let you discover two different immersions. One of them is based on the setting of a magical place where you can experience what it is like to touch an eclipse, leave a trail of stars, choose the weather and have fish come to wherever you put a finger; you create your own atmosphere. The other painting responds to sounds, where every step leaves an echo. It is an experience in which you can stroke the sounds painted in the canvas.
All this has been achieved by creating a work in a conventional way and using technology as a tool, which has made it possible for you to visit the browser and for the canvas to talk to you, for you to enter it, touch it and have it answer. That is why what is new is not the medium: it is that the work answers back. A painting is finished in the studio; these two pieces are finished at every visit, and what the visitor does inside – planting, painting, touching, saving – becomes part of what the work is.
There is no longer a spectator working out what the work conveys; now there is a visitor able to live and create their own corner in the painting. There are no guidelines, tutorial or imposed idea that prevails over what each person experiences. You only have to open the browser on your phone, tablet or computer – there is even an immersive view for headsets – without having to register or install anything, to discover first-hand that what you paint stays: it is shared and shown.
Programming Lienzo Vivo is not hanging a screen with an animation: it is giving the visitor a voice.
