Magdalena Maria Lesniak - Artist
"I love the seemingly endless opportunities that a camera gives me. In a fraction of a second I can record a picture that would otherwise take me weeks or even months to paint. In my photographic adventure I tend to depict colours and forms rather than people, places or events. I am also intrigued by the changes that Nature inflicts on human creations, and I try to capture in my pictures the fragility and the beauty of this intricate relationship."

Testimonial:
"In preparing our home for sale we rearranged and edited out furniture. Suddenly we had big blank spaces on our walls in desperate need of some great art. Alana was most helpful. Her advice and in-depth knowledge of the art rental and sales collection meant I had several pieces for my consideration within the hour. A quick consultation with my husband, and we were done: two perfect canvases were wrapped and ready to take home to fill those blank walls. P.S. I have a feeling the paintings won’t be coming back to the collection – we’re enjoying them too much. Looks like we’ll be converting these two rentals into sales!"
