Veronica Leiton’s artwork cannot be
appreciated with quick glances. Her passion doesn’t jump out from the
canvas nor does it share a direct point of view. Her work is presented
with a foggy haze that lures the viewer to come closer and look
carefully. The life beneath the surface of the painting gives Leiton a
style of microscopic complexity. The color spectrum for her work stays
mainly within the bluish and grey hues, which have been mainly
influenced by the sea. This watery cloud adds mystery to her paintings.
The colors create a swaying sensation on the canvas revealing a serene
vision, only to be disrupted by the activity going on in the background.
Various materials and textures go into making her fantasy worlds. She
works with media on canvas, oil, paper, and collograph printing, which
are only a few. Her use of different mediums adds to her style of
unpredictability. She does not speak her expression; she allows it to
emote off the canvas and gently creep into your consciousness.
