lev l. spiro

Lev L. Spiro is a lens-based artist whose work explores the duality of light and darkness, evoking the natural world as both a sacred space where beauty offers moments of solace, and as a starkly indifferent universe in which humans are left to seek meaning on their own.  His images venture to navigate these paradoxes, finding grace in shadow and disquiet in the sublime, constituting meditations on survival, spirit, and the fragile poetry of existence.

His work has been featured in solo exhibitions for the A. Smith Gallery in Austin, TX and La Botega Gallery in Laguna Beach, CA, and juried into many group exhibitions including Ph21 Gallery, Praxis Gallery, Southeast Center for Photography and the Center for Photographic Art.  It's also been featured in publications including Dodho Magazine,  Shadow & Light Magazine,  F-Stop Magazine, What Will You Remember?,  Art Ascent Magazine (Gold Artist, June 2021; Silver Artist, July 2023)  All About Photo, and Black + White UK.

Lev currently teaches the fine art photography courses "The Artful Garden" and "Story & Emotion in the Natural World" for Santa Fe Workshops.
