Very excited for the show we are having at Santini Gallery :
WHERE SKIES OPEN
An exhibition by Soraya Silvestri & Leah Hicks
October 7–29, 2026 | Santini Gallery
Where Skies Open brings together the work of Soraya Silvestri and Leah Hicks in an atmospheric exhibition exploring the space between landscape, abstraction and imagination.
Through layers of luminous colour, sweeping movement and expressive texture, the artists create dreamlike environments that feel at once familiar and otherworldly. Skies, water, clouds and distant landscapes emerge and dissolve, inviting the viewer to look beyond the recognizable and into something more ethereal.
Opening Reception & Meet the Artists
Thursday, October 8 | 5:30–8:00 PM
Santini Gallery
Join us for the opening reception, meet the artists and experience Where Skies Open in person.
On display October 7–29, 2026
"I have several of Leah’s works of art. Through her work she speaks to me in ways very few other artist do. The impact of her work bypasses the brain completely and connects directly with our emotional centres. The emotions Leah’s work touches are deep, universal themes of human experience. There is always tension in her work. You can feel calm and safe and, at the same time, be acutely aware of the fragility of that. Much of Leah’s art also has the quality of invoking a different emotional response altogether when viewed from a different rotation. If I had more wall space, I would have more Leah Hicks art!"

“I really really love your work. The art looks absolutely amazing in our space and will make me happy for years to come. Thank you.
A huge fan!"

“I purchased a piece of Leah Hicks' art and was so impressed that I commissioned her to create a custom piece just for me. The result completely blew me away—it's stunning and captures exactly what I was hoping for. Every time I have guests over, it catches their eye and sparks conversation. Leah’s kindness and gentle soul shine through in her work, making the whole experience even more meaningful. Have a great day on purpose"

Leah Hicks is a phenomenal artist whose work radiates depth, creativity, and an unmistakable vibrancy. Each piece she creates is a stunning exploration of color and emotion, blending modern inspiration with a rich artistic background. Her unique vision feels both fresh and timeless, embodying a new age of artistic expression that captivates the soul. Leah’s work doesn’t just hang on my wall—it speaks, inspires, and lingers in my mind. Absolutely beautiful and unforgettable.

I am fortunate enough to own 6 pieces of Leah Hicks art creations, and I am thrilled to have each piece proudly displayed throughout my home.
Not only are they individually mesmerizing in their beauty, but their titles evoke my every imagination. Her work is captivating and her devotion to her craft is beyond compare. She is a gifted artist who has so much talent which is evident in every piece she creates !!
Please check her out !!

I own 3 custom paintings from Leah, and every time I look at the pieces, my heart is filled with joy. Leah heard my words/thoughts and was able to translate them beautifully onto a canvas each time. I cherish my paintings, and I'm so incredibly proud to hang them on my walls.

I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across your work and I have to say — I was genuinely moved by it. The level of detail, the concept behind each piece, and the elegance in your execution all speak to a truly gifted artist.
