Leiva creates objects that evolve into intricate structures for holding flowers. The imagery is derived from his earlier paintings, from which he created mythical symbols that make up his visionary worlds. Leiva meticulously crafts his works to achieve his desire to emulate his visions. Vessel for Seraphim Blooms and Paradise Garden Vase exemplify Leiva’s ability to create works that teeter between the sensuous and unsettling, decorated with motifs resembling eyes, blooming botanicals, and seemingly geometric forms.
