Swiss-Brazilian artist born in São Paulo into a family of architects and designers, Leca Araujo began painting at the age of ten.
Graduated in technology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, she now brings together art and innovation, exploring the connections between neuroscience, emotions, and human consciousness through an approach that is both poetic and experimental.

​

Her trajectory includes participations in major international events such as the Lyon Biennale, the Florence Biennale, and Personal Structures within the context of the Venice Biennale.

​

In 2018, she presented As Marias at the United Nations Palais des Nations in Geneva, a series dedicated to femininity and resilience.
In 2020, she received The Future We Want award, granted by the United Nations General Directorate, in recognition of her artistic contribution and her commitment to a more humane and sustainable future.
In 2022, she returned to the same venue with Between Mind and Matter, an exhibition focused on mental health and inner balance.

​

Through the use of recycled materials, geometric forms, and a visual vocabulary rich in symbolism, Leca Araujo creates immersive works that question dualities — between matter and spirit, interior and exterior, visible and invisible.
Her universe bridges the rigor of technology with the sensitivity of intuition, opening a dialogue between science, art, and humanity.
