“At first, the goal of art is not to show beauty but to touch the viewer’s soul. It makes a reconnection through color, line or emotions shown. The viewer recognizes their own emotions or struggles. Therefore, Leonie reaches for the highest possible level, stepping beyond beauty. Art has the power to connect and heal, giving remembrance to the viewer’s life. It uses powerful lines and colors without hesitation to address sensitive issues, all the way without limits.

‘I am an expressionist. I draw and paint on an intuitive basis. What’s inside has to come out- like words and behavior. I cannot pretend that life always feels happy, as mine, like yours, is sometimes good and sometimes sad. Art expresses my struggle towards authenticity, as I aim to awaken my soul to its highest potential. This is my path.

My greatest creative power lies in showing the now, in that moment.'”
