ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Leyla Munteanu
I have always felt a special
connection with textural
surfaces and the human figure.
The beauty and strength in
human features was a preferred
subject in my work. Now I am
focusing on the nostalgic. My
love for the human figure has
evolved into an interest in
what they leave behind. Human
marks left on objects and
surfaces over time become more
important than representation
of the people who made the
marks.
I find my inspiration in
immediate surroundings, and I
hope that my work will lead
the viewer to see the beauty
that I see. First impressions
are everything. Most often my
depictions of those
experiences are simply my way
of saying “you should see what
I saw!” Each piece has
special meaning to me, which
will not necessarily be the
same meaning the viewer may
attach to it. Art tells us
something about ourselves and
my work is the world as I see
it, a world that brings back
memories.
I grew up in Bucharest
Romania, a town marked by a
long history; every place was
worn by time or human nature.
I’m still amazed by my
memories of these places. All
