ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Step into a world where emotions are laid bare, and the artist’s personal journey unfolds on the canvas. “Emerging from the Shadows” is a poignant abstract painting that captures the artist’s challenging seven-year odyssey, marked by an overwhelming drought of emotions. Through devastating losses, death, betrayal and the heartbreaking trauma of seeing both her parents with Alzheimer’s Dementia, the artist has found herself yearning for the vibrant colours of life, the rejuvenation of spring, and the restoration of joy. In this evocative painting, brushstrokes of deep red intermingle with glimmers of light, symbolizing the artist’s courageous endeavour to understand her emotions and navigate through the depths of despair. Each stroke represents a step forward, a glimpse of resilience, and a search for that flicker of illumination that shines from above. Feel the yearning for life’s kaleidoscope of colors, the longing for the renewal that springs forth from nature’s embrace. As you gaze upon the canvas, you’ll be captivated by the interplay of deep red brushstrokes mingling with delicate glimmers of light. Each stroke tells a tale of resilience, representing a bold stride forward amidst the depths of despair. The artist courageously embarks on a quest to unravel the complexities of her own emotions, guided by the faint glimmers of illumination that beckon from above.

Leonie Brown
South Africa
Leonie has always had a natural talent for art, with her teachers in school often presuming that her parents were assisting her. However, her artistic inclinations were rooted in personal trauma from her childhood. Determined to explore her creativity, Leonie pursued a Fine Arts degree at Potchefstroom University, where she won numerous national awards, including the prestigious Volkskas (now ABSA) Atelier. Leonie’s artistic journey has been marked by numerous achievements and recognition within the art world. From 1985 to 2023, she has participated in various international competitions, solo and group exhibitions, further solidifying her credibility and relevance. In 2023, Leonie was honoured to be featured as one of the Top 10 Artists by Artling and as a Featured Artist in Artsy Shark. Additionally, her talent has been celebrated through numerous accolades, including First Prize in the Potchefstroom Talent Festival (1986), the Volkskas Atelier (now ABSA) Winner of Painting Category (1985), the Gregoire Boonzaaier Art Bursary First Prize (1985), and placements in the top 10 nationally in the Total Exhibition for Young Artists (1986), among others. After completing her studies, Leonie took a decade-long hiatus from painting as she focused on her own healing journey. It was during this time that she found the strength to overcome her trauma, eventually marrying a wonderfully supportive and understanding husband. Reinvigorated, Leonie returned to painting in 2000, diving back into her artistic practice with a newfound purpose. “My art is a testament to the transformative power of resilience and forgiveness. As a survivor of complex PTSD and abuse, I’ve emerged from the shadows to create vivid, expressive works that serve as beacons of hope and vitality.” “My canvases are battlegrounds of colour and texture, where thick impasto layers and bold brushstrokes fight against the invisible barriers of trauma. Each piece declares that life can be lived fully, without boundaries or fear.” “My process is intuitive and physical—a dance of gestures with large brushes, palette knives, and mixed media that speaks directly to the soul.” “I paint for those who have felt trapped behind glass walls, unable to experience the world’s touch fully. My art screams that it’s possible to shatter these barriers, to taste life’s flavors and feel its textures without reservation.
