Leire Zelaia Eizaguirre

Leire began at Nahiarte in 2013 without having completed any prior training in the plastic arts. She is an artist with a notable, dedicated personality that always creates dialogue through her pieces. Her work is clearly figurative, reflecting her joyful and dynamic nature with the use of saturated colours and the images that she presents us. Leire draws from her family and friends, enjoying artistic production and sharing it with her loved ones. Her bold and unwavering decisions are demonstrated through the way she signs her pieces: “Leire la Artista”.
