Leander

Leander is a multidisciplinary artist whose evocative works blur the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and installation. Born in 1991 and raised in Rotterdam, Leander’s practice is defined by a deep sensitivity to materiality and a keen interest in the interplay between memory and abstraction. After studying fine art at the Willem de Kooning Academy, Leander embarked on a journey that has taken their art from intimate studio settings to vibrant gallery spaces across Europe.

Drawing inspiration from both urban decay and organic growth patterns, Leander’s pieces frequently juxtapose found objects and experimental media, resulting in layered compositions that invite viewers to reconsider the connections between environment, identity, and transformation. Over the past decade, Leander’s exhibitions have been celebrated for their immersive qualities and the artist’s unique ability to evoke emotion through subtle texture and color. Whether working on expansive installations or small-scale mixed media works, Leander consistently challenges conventional narratives, forging a visual language that is at once personal and universally resonant.
