Lea van Vlodrop’s work is shaped by her interest in language, signs, and symbols. 

Her paintings emphasize the invisible connection between the personal and the universal that lies in all things, forming bridges between the conscious and the unconscious mind. Intrigued by the power of symbols to encapsulate a variety of different notions such as thoughts, ideas, prohibitions, rules, myths, secrets, or narratives, she uses this potential in her paintings to question how we relate to what is seemingly easy for our eyes to dismantle.
