Leslie Garay M.

I was born in Chile and came to Canada four years ago. My background includes fashion design (my degree), jewelry, bakery and painting. In every one of these adventures, I have used colour as one of my characteristics.

My artistic process starts with observation. In my case, my inspiration is flowers. They bring me back to my memories and my experience, they make me feel calm, and at the same time, they surprise me.

Flowers have movement when light passes through them; they also have different stages, from once they are born until they die.

Their colours, textures, lights and shadows make me feel peaceful.

I take many photographic references to have different perspectives and compositions. I play with them. Then, I take them to my medium, which is acrylic with subtle brushstrokes.

I try to experiment with my memories and sensations, every detail of them, giving my paintings a lot of colour and life.

Nací en Chile y vine a Canadá hace cuatro años. Mi experiencia incluye diseño de moda (mi título), joyería, panadería y pintura. En cada una de estas aventuras he utilizado el color como una de mis características.

Mi proceso artístico comienza con la observación. En mi caso, mi inspiración son las flores. Me devuelven a mis recuerdos ya mi experiencia, me tranquilizan y al mismo tiempo me sorprenden.

Las flores tienen movimiento cuando la luz las atraviesa; también tienen diferentes etapas, desde que nacen hasta que mueren.

Sus colores, texturas, luces y sombras me hacen sentir en paz.

Tomo muchas referencias fotográficas para tener diferentes perspectivas y composiciones. juego con ellos Luego, los llevo a mi medio, que es el acrílico con sutiles pinceladas.

Trato de experimentar con mis recuerdos y sensaciones, cada detalle de ellos, dándole a mis pinturas mucho color y vida.
