Gleo is a Colombian muralist from Cali whose vibrant, large-scale portraits fuse human figures with flowers, mythical creatures, and pre-Columbian symbolism. In 2018, her “El Sueño Original” in Wichita, Kansas – spanning over 4,600 m² – set a record as the largest acrylic mural by a single artist. She was invited to Vienna by the Calle Libre Festival in 2023.

Love channels Gleo’s encounter with Vienna’s Jugendstil tradition – the ornamental language of Klimt and the Secession filtered through her own tropical palette. A heart made of flowers radiates in bright yellow at the center of the composition, rendered as a six-color screenprint on coral-toned paper. The warm ground color becomes part of the image, giving the print a luminosity that echoes the gilded surfaces of the Secession building itself.
