About

leikela offers a unique and exceptional selection of curated art editions. These editions can be any kind of artwork – prints, paintings, sculpture, objects, fabrics and so on – affordable and with varying circulation figures – must haves for anyone who loves to explore and to be surrounded by art. The editions are done exclusively for leikela. We follow the artistic process and the production for you so you can not only enjoy the final artwork but also explore the making of the piece of art you are going to purchase for your home or any other place.

Surrounded and inspired by many contemporary artists, many of them younger and emerging, artists who are the future of the international art discourse, leikela wants to support, accompany and share artistic processes by documenting the creation of the artworks and by visiting the artists in their studios. It is also about discovering great works and collaborating with artists from all over the world on a personal basis instead of just “selling” works of art without relating to them.

leikela has a broad and daily growing network of artists and of productionplaces which we strive to connect, so that the artists also profit by having the option to be inspired by one another, to explore and play.

The artistic process and the finished artwork are inevitably linked. By following leikela on Instagram and Facebook, you’ll be able to be connected closely to these processes, accompanying the artist from the start until the finshied art editions will be displayed in our shop online. Wouldn’t it be great to actually observe the actual process of the creation of a piece of art, and then being able to buy it for your home or for someone you like? You will get an insight into the whole story behind it.
