It is a selection of his first series which was presented at his home studio last year. Although Leslie has been educated as a furniture and graphic designer he is fond of oil painting which didn´t come across during his studies. In his first collection Leslie travels around different landscapes with his thoughts and brushes. Every painting has its own story and you can find it in an envelope behind the frame. As a purchaser you have a story to reveal. Leslie is working on his 2nd collection that will be presented soon. Mostly portraits this time.
