Ludi Leiva (b. 1990, Canada) is a painter and printmaker of Latin American and Slavic heritage. Working primarily in oil and monotype, she builds introspective worlds through soft, luminous layers that dissolve the boundaries between observation, imagination, and memory. Moving between figuration and abstraction, her work explores the emotional resonance of landscapes, drawing on memories of her formative years on the west coast of British Columbia and childhood summers in Guatemala, alongside the terrains of her everyday life.
Since completing her MFA at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in 2023 and a drawing development programme at the Royal Drawing School in 2025, Ludi has increasingly focused on her fine art practice, building on a career in illustration.
