Sandra Di Leo is a multi-disciplinary, contemporary artist with practices in both painting and graphic design. Her art is self-reflective — an introspective exploration of self-discovery and ultimately an intimate form of emotional expression. Di Leo’s paintings are influenced by the American Abstract Expressionist movement. She has spent decades refining a practice that merges the sensibilities of graphic design with the creative freedom of non-objective painting.

Her intention is to capture the emotion of an experience through the fundamentals of colour and form and the
principles of graphic design. Di Leo delves deep within,
examining what is visible yet unseen, and the interplay of light and dark in her life experiences. She works solely in acrylics, exploring themes such as love, loss, transformation and self-discovery. Di Leo uses colour to create rhythm, movement and depth. Her fluid gestural forms create a visual symphony as they dance across the composition with her signature black mark-making, creating tension between intuitive gesture and compositional control; offering a sense of contemplation in the viewer.

Sandra’s artworks are in private collections internationally, she has exhibited in Canada, USA, Mexico, England, Germany and Singapore. She recently exhibited her art in the esteemed juried Scope Art Fair in Miami during Art Basel week (2025). She lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
