Leka is a multidisciplinary artist born in 1996, São Paulo, Brazil. Currently residing close to New York, her work is the culmination of all that she is, putting together the worlds of art, architecture and photography. It’s the synthesis of the skills and experiences she has developed throughout her life and with that she approaches each theme with intention. Her style is guided by ideals of simplicity, minimalism, energy, and freedom, always emphasizing originality and authenticity. She believes that by connecting deeply with people, spaces, and ideas, art can inspire meaningful dialogues and elevate shared experiences. Her creative philosophy is rooted in subtlety—where less is more, and every detail holds its significance. Her three areas of expertise are not fragmented parts but layers of a unified creative universe, where technique and sensitivity coexist in harmony through her spirituality. Her essence lies in the connection between the visible and the invisible — between abstract ideas and their materialization. With a rich background in architecture and urbanism, she infuses her creations with a unique perspective that seamlessly integrates emotion, precision, functionality and authenticity.
Leka lived in São Paulo until the age of 24, then relocated herself to the United States, after a deep dive in self knowledge and understanding what she wanted - and not wanted - for her life. In a constant pursuit of personal and professional growth, since childhood, she has seen the world in a unique way and full of sensibility.
"Do mundo trago referências, e na veracidade das experiências, meu trabalho é uma entrega da minha essência"
[BIO]
Architecture has provided her with a solid and rational foundation, enhancing her vision and allowing her to frame reality in ways that challenge conventional perception, reflecting her pursuit of symmetry, functionality, and timelessness. Her spaces embody minimalism and essentiality, paired with individuality.
Photography gives her access to her emotional and human side, as well as art. It’s her means of understanding and questioning the world—a way to capture what not everyone sees, to reveal nuances, to translate stories without using works, and to find something extraordinary in the ordinary. Her gaze is her most humble, subtle, and delicate tool.
In art, Leka infuses her work with a unique and intuitive perspective, creating pieces that are genuine reflections of her emotions and internal dialogues, that overflow in forms of the ocean. To her, art transcends mere creation; it becomes a bridge between the visible and the invisible, between the self and her spirituality.
Her journey as a creator is driven by the desire to inspire and be inspired, building meaningful connections with the audience and the world around her. She believes that by expressing ourselves, creating art, and seeing beauty in all around us, we become better individuals to share this process called life. Every project she undertakes, whether spatial, visual, or narrative, carries her signature blend of depth and subtlety. The fusion of these three disciplines drives her creativity.
