About Art Seen

Established in 1993 by Leonardo Ledesma, Art Seen is a multidisciplinary fine art advisory representing a select group of artists from around the globe.

We work collaboratively with our clients to deliver excellence on a wide range of project types and sizes. We offer professional art procurement and advisory services to corporations, designers, architects, real estate developers, businesses and individuals.

Art Seen provides original and limited edition artworks in a variety of media from paintings on canvas to works on paper, sculpture and photography. Services include selection and acquisition of artworks, defining budgets, commissions from concept to completion, framing, art placement and installation. In addition Art Seen has curated and produced over 70 art exhibitions since its founding.

Art Seen emerged from a profound love for both art and architecture. Ledesma's journey began at the University of Southern California (USC), where he recognized the untapped potential of students in the university's neighboring art department, while majoring in architecture. Motivated by their creativity and a genuine desire to offer them opportunities for self-expression, he set out on a mission to connect their creations with audiences who would appreciate their work. What initially began as a personal endeavor soon evolved into a thriving consultancy, underscoring the transformative power of art in shaping environments.

More than three decades after its founding, Ledesma and Art Seen remain dedicated to the core mission of bridging artistry and spaces.
