Duty

In "Duty," Leafstedt captures the notion of an imperfect journey toward a horizon that defies convention. Using layers of paint over linen, he introduces a unique element - a lateral strip across the canvas, left bare until the final stages. This unpainted line serves as a visual interruption, symbolizing the artist's philosophy of embracing life’s deviations and avoiding rigid pursuit. With layers that evoke the richness of cultivated land under a moody sky, Leafstedt’s piece reminds viewers to appreciate the beauty found in the unpredictable path.
