About Leslie Venezuelan-born and Miami-based artist Leslie Gabaldón explores the intersection of nature, memory, and human experience through photography and assemblage. Deeply influenced by her dual cultural background—shaped by North American influence and Latin American upbringing—Gabaldón’s work reflects a search for belonging that extends beyond geography, embracing nature as a form of universal citizenship. Inevitably, she draws parallels between the cycles of nature and the spiritual journey of human life, uncovering metaphors that connect the two. Her practice calls for a renewed presence in the tangible world amid the increasingly digital reality of contemporary life. Exhibited across the United States, Latin America, and Asia, her work bridges fine art and environmental awareness, offering a poetic reflection on resilience, impermanence, and our evolving bond with the natural world.(https://www.lesliegabaldonstudio.com/)
