BIOGRAPHY

Leslie Molina is a Venezuelan visual artist and performer based in Mexico City. Working across painting, fiber, installation, and performance, her practice investigates painting as an expanded field where gesture, body, and energy operate as interconnected forces.

​

Trained in graphic design in Caracas (2011), Molina transitioned from illustration and design into an interdisciplinary practice that extends pictorial processes beyond the surface of the canvas. Through performative actions and material experimentation, she activates the body as a pictorial instrument, transforming movement, tension, and sensory perception into visual form.

​

Her work is driven by an interest in the subtle disruptions that shape human experience—moments in which coherence, stability, and perception fracture and reorganize. Rather than framing these distortions as sites of conflict, Molina approaches them as spaces of transformation, where fragility and equilibrium coexist.

​

Molina’s work has been exhibited internationally in Mexico City, Panama, Paris, London, Chicago, and Strasbourg, including presentations at Arteconsult, The Holy Art (UK), Colors Festival (France), Zhou B Art Center (Chicago), Allegro Gallery, and the United Nations Panama. Her performative works have been presented at Biblioteca Vasconcelos, Palacio de los Condes (Mexico), and the Panama Canal, among other cultural programs and artistic platforms.

​

Her work has been featured in international media, magazines, and platforms across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
