Sandra Di Leo is a multi-disciplinary, contemporary artist with practices in both painting and graphic design. She has spent decades refining a practice that merges the sensibilities of graphic design with the creative freedom of non-objective painting.
Her artistic philosophy is rooted in an evolving journey of introspection and self-discovery. Di Leo’s intention is to express the emotion of an experience through the fundamentals of colour and form and the principles of graphic design.

Di Leo works solely in acrylics, exploring themes such as love, loss and personal transformation. She delves deep within, examining what is visible yet unseen, and the interplay of light and dark in her life experiences. Di Leo uses colour to create rhythm, movement and depth. Her fluid gestural forms produce 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.

Di Leo studied at George Brown College and holds a diploma in Graphic Design (2000), she is a self-taught painter. Since 2012, she has been a regular participant in major art fairs and gallery exhibitions across the globe, she has exhibited in Canada, USA, Mexico, England, Germany and Singapore. Di Leo recently exhibited her art in the esteemed juried Scope Art Fair in Miami during Art Basel week (2025). Her artworks are held in numerous private collections internationally, she lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
