Pedro Leon Zapata (1929-2015) was a Venezuelan painter, cartoonist, and satirist from La Grita, Tachira. After early training in Caracas and Mexico, he became known for sharp visual commentary in the press, especially through his long-running Zapatazos column in El Nacional, while also maintaining a career as a painter and printmaker.
His work moves between humor, social observation, and Venezuelan cultural memory. The available prints reflect the graphic force and wit that made Zapata one of Venezuela's most recognizable visual voices.
