New Works by Ludi Leiva

RHODES is proud to present a new series of six delicate monoprints on paper by Ludi Leiva. Dreamlike and quietly luminous, the works unfold through soft layers, pigments organically folding into one another to reveal figures and landscapes.

Working intuitively, Leiva builds her imagery through a close understanding of her materials, responding to the textures of paint and paper. Inspired by the mountain landscapes of her childhood and the ancestral homelands of her family, her compositions merge human presence with natural forms, creating spaces that feel both remembered and imagined.

Light, fluid and folk-like in their sensibility, these monoprints reveal a the quiet register of Leiva’s practice. Printed on fine handmade Japanese paper, each work carries a delicate physicality—subtle textures, drifting forms and moments of stillness.
