JORGE LEITON SALAS
Exploring identity, memory and the human experience through painting, mixed media and sculpture.
My Approach
Material & Transformation
My work explores the relationship between material, memory and identity. Through painting, mixed media and sculpture, I transform familiar forms and materials into new visual expressions.
Intuition & Process
My creative process is driven by intuition, experimentation and curiosity. Each work develops through a dialogue between idea and material, allowing unexpected forms, textures and meanings to emerge.
