Xenia Leo

Artist • Photographer • Sound Artist • Mother

I create worlds through image and sound — photography, intimate storytelling, and lullaby-rooted rhythms shaped by beauty, memory, and the quiet transformation of motherhood.

Artist statement

My work is an inquiry into beauty, connection, and transformation — the subtle moments that make us feel alive. Photography holds what’s visible. Sound holds what can’t be explained.

I’m interested in presence: the kind you can feel in a room, in a gaze, in a rhythm that repeats until your nervous system softens.

Sound

I create hypnotic rhythm and lullaby-rooted ritual sound — music that lives between sleep and movement. Flute-inspired melodies, reimagined children’s songs, and gentle dance textures.

Made for night listening, intimate spaces, and DJs who love emotional atmospheres.
