The Artist
“I only paint what already exists.”— Leticia San Miguel
My work begins with emotion and explores the space between what is seen and what is felt. I paint what exists beyond the physical—what may be sensed, remembered, imagined, or quietly understood.
Through abstraction, minimalism, sensual form, clean lines, and deliberate curves, I create work that invites contemplation. I am interested in the moment when a painting becomes more than an image and begins to evoke something personal within the viewer.
I believe art should create questions rather than provide answers. It should awaken curiosity, challenge perception, and offer a moment beyond the boundaries of ordinary reality.
Every painting carries something of my own emotional experience, yet I leave room for the viewer to complete the work through their own perception. What they discover may be different from what I began with—and that possibility is essential to the work.
My practice is an exploration of the unseen: the emotional, sensual, and intangible spaces that exist within and beyond us.
I paint not to invent what is absent, but to reveal what is already there.
