Léa Marais is a visual artist working with photography and printmaking. Her work explores how images change through repetition, reproduction, and time. She is interested in how meaning shifts as images are seen again and again, and how we come to recognise something that feels both familiar and slightly altered. Her work moves between abstract and figurative forms, inviting a slower and more attentive way of looking.

She has a background in computer vision, brain imaging, and psychology, where she used images as tools for scientific research. Her artistic practice marks a clear shift away from this, using images not to give answers but to explore open questions and sit with uncertainty.

Her work focuses on how we interpret images through memory, experience, and association. As images are reworked, layered, and repeated, their sense of presence changes. She is also interested in how technologies shape the way images are seen, shared, and understood today. Rather than telling a fixed story, her work creates space for reflection and for connections between people, places, and moments in time.
