Olivier Leger

Artist Statement

Art exploring the wonders of our blue planet! Using ink, I create intricately detailed paintings and drawings that celebrate the beautiful biodiversity and interconnected ecosystems of our ocean while highlighting the threats they face. Grab a magnifying glass and discover the the stories hidden in the details!
My inspiration comes from scuba diving and research trips around the world, where I capture reference images that inform my studio work. Based in Leicestershire, I’ve exhibited nationally, including at the Harley Gallery and Leicester New Walk Natural History Museum.
