Lea Terletzki
where myth meets melancholy & light
I create art as a bridge between myth and modernity, weaving ancient symbols and archetypes into contemporary narratives. My work explores the dualities of identity, transformation, and the hidden stories that shape us — drawing inspiration from mythology, nature, and the emotional landscapes of everyday life.Each piece is an invitation to pause and reflect, to find the sacred in the ordinary and the extraordinary in the self. Through layered compositions, luminous gold accents, and expressive figures, I seek to evoke both vulnerability and strength, inviting viewers to see themselves in the myths I reimagine.For me, art is not just an object but a living dialogue — a way to connect, to question, and to celebrate the complexity of being human. My practice is deeply personal, shaped by my own journey and the vibrant cultures I encounter.
