I’m Miguel Leyva, a San Francisco–based emerging artist exploring what I call Bold Contrast Realism. I’m still early in my art journey and experimenting a lot, but I keep coming back to bold contrast, limited palettes, and city streets. My pieces often start from real locations and everyday people I notice in my day-to-day work, then I simplify shapes and push the color to hold tension, care, and quiet moments. I’m here to learn from other artists and keep refining this style over time.
