The American South
Where the water turns blue, the coral faces a changing environment and the effects of bleaching. In this blue and bleached white space, water distorts the once primary colors; the camera lens blurs at the edges, pulling circles and dots away before returning them to the void. Small, curious corals breathe in life, slowly regrowing every day.
-Close your eyes, you can still see the patterns and feel them in your body as nitrogen slowly releases through your skin.
-Remember that you are here, and they are there, every day.

About Leif Rotsaert

"The ocean's influence continues to permeate my work, washing through me as I attempt to capture its essence through abstract imagery. My creations often emerge from a blend of photographic references and vivid dreams, leading to textural paintings, sculptures and photographic works that celebrate the beauty and complexity of my experiences.

In all my endeavors, I remain committed to dreaming in color, translating the vibrant hues of my life into a visual language that invites others to engage with the world through the lens of art.

Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Leif received his Bachelor of Arts Degree with a focus on studio art in Albuquerque, New Mexico. "

Leif's studio and home is currently located on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
