ARTIST BIO
Leslie Fiestan is a Graphic Designer and Computer Technician by profession and a resident of Riyadh KSA since 1984. Art has been her lifelong passion and grew up winning art contests in her educational years.
A self taught artist with focus on mixed media and draws inspiration from classical paintings particularly realism, paintings by Bouguereau, DaVinci, Caravaggio and many others. Drawing and sketching was her first love but then started to explore other mediums such as charcoal, pastel, watercolor, acrylic and most recently oil painting.
She has joined exhibits, contests for photography and arts and have contributed her talent to some of the Filipino Community Events held in Riyadh as well as Dubai. Last being the Mr & Miss Philippines KSA in 2018 where she created the logo, poster and other materials. She also offers customization services (painting bags, shoes, portraits, logo) and has clients from some notable residents in Riyadh her most recent was a gift, a painting for a Saudi royal. Recently since the Kingdom opened up opportunities for expats to do art exhibits, she seized the opportunity and became the first Filipina to participate in such event and has even sold some of her works and even featured in local and international media (news, magazines, TV & online shows). This has lead other Filipinas to join a year later. She has participated in 2 photo exhibits held at the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh and 10 art exhibits from Riyadh (her first art exhibit was held at Naila Art Gallery), Jeddah and India
