Vanessa Leschke “I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.” (Franz Kafka)
The artworks by Vanessa Leschke, a contemporary German visual artist, are kaleidoscopic visions composed of a myriad of details and textures that, drawn by hand, blend into each other to create psychedelic imagery. Combining more traditional and digital research, the artist gives life to shapes in constant movement, wrapped in bright and incandescent colours and shades. In the work entitled "METAmorphosis", displayed at M.A.D.S. Art Gallery on the occasion of the NFT New Freedom Think exhibition, we see how lines, circles and black and white dots run across the surface, drawing unpredictable shapes and filling the space with vibrant elements. The background, tinged with a shade of pink that goes towards blue, makes the whole fluorescent and hypnotizing to the eye. Vanessa Leschke's research is rooted in the concept of metamorphosis and eternal change, describing the transformation, the functional or structural modification of life. Her works are often created on paper and then completed digitally, in a process that is itself metamorphosis and evolution into something new. Vanessa Leschke tells of microcosms, where cells and chemical bonds live in continuous movement. Forms that merge and then detach, changing their structure according to environmental conditions. She seems to carry out a chemical analysis of bodies: through a microscope, she enters under the skin to study the most infinitesimal parts that characterize us and allow us to change.
