Meet Leora Victoria: a versatile and talented New York-based classically trained, yet modern painter. Her work, no matter what medium she chooses, can only be described as nothing short of sheer genius. Leora’s work is all about the constant strive for originality, creativity, and expression. Her paintings usually feature mixed media and an interesting slew of materials: Leora is an artist who does not fear exploration and innovation. She has been experimenting with abstract art, acrylic paint and spray paint along with a medley of unusual materials for a daring mixed media style. In addition, she also is a fashion designer. Leora’s exceptional approach to art, with her interesting choice of materials and flare, is a pleasure to observe. She is an artist who does not fear change or modernism. She understands how to pay great attention to detail when it comes to creating art. The effort and time that Leora puts into every one of her paintings are unbelievable. She has a full mind of ideas and self-expressions like no other. She is an artist in every sense of the word. She is extremely driven and motivated in creating and using an artistic eye in all that she sets her mind to.
Leora Victoria is a Transformational Artist. She was born and raised in Texas by Israeli parents. She has spent the past 11 years in NYC where she earned a BA in Psychology and Studio Art at New York University. She is a mother of two girls, nine and six. She currently lives and works as a fine artist in Los Angeles. Her current work embodies emotions and transitions. She uses mixed media such as oil paint, acrylic, ink, watercolor, charcoal, aerosol sprays, pastels, glitter, photography and neon lights. She produces her work on various materials such as canvas, paper, plexi glass, and metal. She uses patterns and symbols to portray thought and feeling. Leora believes that when people have good energy and they connect well and can harmonize together the work benefits and can be stronger and richer as a result.
In addition to fine art, Leora has recently launched a new collection of Leora Victoria Home where she is designing Neon Chandeliers. These are sculptural light pieces for home or office decor. She has an artistic and creative eye and is a natural creative director. She is both student and teacher on a regular basis. Leora is an extremely passionate and real woman who portrays life issues of happiness, hurt, love, joy, pain, success, greed, vanity, beauty, hate and peace, and all that encompasses life through her art. She displays her work in residential homes, hotels, cafes, and galleries. Leora plans to continue working as an artist as she expands her career further into residential real estate. She helps provide real estate sellers and buyers with a very detailed, thorough, and curated home furnished with Leora Victoria Fine Art and Neon Chandeliers by Leora Victoria Home.
“I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. Moved and fell in love with New York 12 years ago. Studied fine art and psychology at NYU. Been pursuing a career in fine art for the past 2 years. Before that, i was doing what I would call decorative art, painting for houses, clothing etc. I moved on to create more dramatic, emotionally charged works of self-expression and have been doing so for the past 2 years. I have also drastically altered my style to include mixed media, theatrical elements on usually very large scales. I am also interested in myth and fantasy and incorporate elements of that into works. Music, love, fantasy, heartbreak, and anger is what motivates me. Being a creative person is what makes me human- without that, I literally would be nothing.”

New York will always have a piece of Leora’s heart, but currently, she’s living and working as an artist in LA. Producing large-scale mixed media work influenced by urban fantasy. Leora’s unique approach to art is a pleasure to look at and this is due to the fact that her work is usually constructed by an impressive abundance of layers, depth and attention to detail for every painting or fashion style that she puts together. It’s almost poetic to see just how many concepts and elements she brings together in order to extract the true beauty out of whatever she is designing or creating.
The contemporary art world is vibrant and booming like never before and it’s a twenty-first-century phenomenon, a global industry in its own right. Contemporary Artists seek the power to astonish, satisfy and challenge: the legend of Leora Victoria’s artwork achieves all of these things. She showcases art that the public may not ordinarily have access to outside of a large urban environment within a welcoming, creative, and inspirational platform. She is as much a skilled professional as a truly unforgettable and capable human being. She is a real artist of not only painting but of interior design, innovation, lifestyle and artistic interpretation. As time goes on Leora will continue to delve deeper into the world of art by utilizing a wide range of mediums and taking an intimate approach to art direction and design. She will continue to build her brand and develop more designs and artwork. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing what she accomplishes next!
