She comes from a family of artists, where she had the opportunity to grow up in an environment conducive to delving into her preferred medium: painting.
Leticia Sánchez Toledo (1985, Cabaiguán, Cuba) is a young Cuban artist who currently lives and works in the city of Miami. She graduated in 2013 from the Higher Institute of Design (ISDI) in Havana, Cuba.
Leticia is best known for her personal representations of women, who tell her stories through somewhat melancholic atmospheres influenced by her love of cinema. Her childhood was spent exploring the world through the big screen of the cinema in her town. For her, the relationship between color and light plays a fundamental role in her works when it comes to evoking the unique aura of each painting.
The artist brings her personal vision of her desires and concerns while examining social, cultural, and ethnic issues that shape the lives of contemporary women. She does it as a mental challenge, using frames to communicate her perspective in the social space, inviting reflection and dialogue.
