Description
About me
I am an Artist who produces paintings, drawings, photographs and sculpture. I also work in other creative mediums such as the dramatic arts, music and writing.
If you are interested to have a private viewing of any my work or would like to purchase or show these works in a Gallery, please contact me directly on +61 0433 434 858 or email leonlester@yahoo.com. Email if you wish to be on my email list to receive information about new artworks.
While some of my work explores aesthetically both colour and form where I intend my art to make a lasting visual impact and be uplifting to the viewer, I am also interested in how I can relate my art to an understanding of the nature of reality. Thus art for me is also a way to express and illustrate ideas found in science, studies of consciousness and metaphysics.
