"The Illusion of Time" Print

Leka Soul is a Ukrainian self-taught artist currently based in Poland. Her artistic journey began unexpectedly in 2023 with neurographic drawing and evolved into meditative Zentangle-inspired works on paper. In 2025, she expanded her practice to acrylic painting on canvas, often combining paint with markers and mixed media elements to create layered, symbolic compositions. Art entered her life during a time of profound personal transformation, after she relocated from Ukraine with her children because of the war. What began as a way to restore inner balance gradually became a conscious artistic path. Through flowing patterns, intuitive structures, and light-centered imagery, Leka Soul explores the idea that human beings are more than the physical body — that we hold inner power and the ability to influence our own reality. Her work reflects a belief that a better world begins with individual awareness: observing one’s thoughts, transforming negative reactions, and choosing light, love, understanding, and responsibility. Without formal academic training, she approaches art intuitively, allowing each piece to unfold as a dialogue between inner silence and creative expression. Through her paintings and intricate ink patterns, Leka Soul invites viewers to reconnect with their inner strength and recognize that meaningful change begins within.
