story:telling – featuring the work of Edgar Leciejewski and Estefanía Martin Sáenz

Edgar Leciejewski and Estefanía Martín Sáenz are two contemporary artists who challenge traditional artistic boundaries through their innovative approaches to photography, painting and material experimentation such as fabric and embroidery. Leciejewski, born in Berlin in 1977 and now based in Leipzig, construct layered visual narratives by blending everyday motifs with cultural-historical references, often incorporating found objects to push the conventions of photography. His works, such as Scene in a Library and Fabric Pictures, merge image and material, creating an augmented reality that invites viewers to reconsider the nature of symbolism and photographic representation. 

Meanwhile, Martín Sáenz, born in Bilbao in 1982 and based in Madrid, transforms ornamental patterns into intricate visual stories through embroidery, drawing, and painting. Her 2024 project, centered on toile de jouy, and her latest series, Todo Sigue Ocurriendo, explore the fusion of fantasy and cultural symbolism, where figures shift between historical and contemporary forms. With themes of femininity, mysticism, and rebellion woven throughout her work, she redefines the relationship between art, tradition, and reality.
