Olivier Leger

Artist Statement

I explore the wonder of life in our oceans in intricately detailed paintings and drawings.

A keen scuba diver, I draw upon my experiences underwater to inform my imaginative compositions.

My fine liner pen drawings and colourful ink paintings celebrate the diversity and interconnectedness of our blue planet whilst also drawing attention to the threats facing our oceans. I believe that art can be a powerful tool for conservation.

I work from my home studio in Leicestershire. My work has been exhibited nationally, including solo shows at the Harley Gallery and Leicester New Walk Natural History Museum.
