Leticia Sánchez Toledo (1985, Cabaiguán, Cuba) is a Cuban painter whose work reflects a refined personal vision, shaped by years of study and exploration. A 2013 graduate of the Higher Institute of Design (ISDI) in Havana, she developed a disciplined approach to composition and a special sensitivity to light and color. Raised in a family of artists, she was immersed from an early age in an environment that encouraged experimentation, dialogue, and a deep respect for the craft.

She currently resides in Miami, where she has continued to expand her practice, transforming her formative influences into an intimate and resonant body of work. Her paintings are recognized for their poetic focus on the female figure, whose inner worlds emerge through delicate layers of atmosphere and tone. A constant fascination with cinema fuels her narrative style, giving her canvases the quality of still frames from untold stories.

Leticia centers her work on the feminine universe, exploring the intersection between personal memory and imagined history. Drawing from collections of images gathered intuitively and obsessively—memories, photographs, film scenes, or found fragments—she constructs her paintings as an intimate visual script. Her works do not seek to narrate, but rather to evoke atmospheres from which emotions such as love, loss, or loneliness arise. For her, cinema functions as an emotional archive that triggers a profound nostalgia, that sense that the past was more vividly lived. In this way, she transforms scenes that move her into something of her own, building an album of memories with images never lived, yet felt as hers.
