Discover the contemporary work of LEIRY.K

I am a girl from Cáceres, Extremadura who has been living in Madrid for a couple of years, my main job is tattooing for 9 years and that is why I move to various places of which I gather inspiration and experiences for later  transform them inevitably with my particular style.

I believe that the work of tattooing encompasses other facets such as that of artisan, draftsman, portraitist and illustrator among others, that is why I cannot define myself and box myself into a single technique or style, I always like to explore other fields, I am constantly changing and learning.

I love the figurative but deformed, I love going beyond the barriers of reality from which you have to drink and know the technique to then go over them and do with them what I want, when I want. 

There are times when I like to use a soft pencil more and play with the textures that the paper, the pencil itself and the gray scales offer me.

Currently I am studying color more in digital format and used in a solid and flat way since I draw a lot from contemporary tattoo artists but especially from old ones.

This does not mean that on any given day I start exploring other ways of visual expression, I do not close myself to the current of inspiration that I may have that day and want to do something totally different even without knowing how to treat it . ::)
