Meet our artists
At Arteli.Lê, the spotlight is on our artists. We are not merely a collective; it is a movement, a fusion of talents that transcends boundaries. From established virtuosos to emerging visionaries, our collective embraces artists at every stage of their journey. This diversity infuses our collective with a dynamic energy that reflects the ever-evolving landscape of the art world.
Linh Le: ceramics, crochet, illustration art, and more
“I’m Linh Le - Vietnamese, born and raised in Germany, living in London who loves nature, travelling and of course, art. As a child, I remember my Dad and uncles constantly drawing cartoons and comics while my aunt loved decorating candles and crafting. Naturally, I started drawing and painting from a young age and dabbled into candle decorating and silk painting.
As much as I am a travel bug, I am also a home buddy. There is nothing better than coming back to your own space after all the adventures to relax and process everything that you’ve experienced. So having a home that gives you joy and peace has always been important to me and most of my art, I’ve made for my home. I find joy in the little things, such as that one plate that you love eating from to that scented candle that was hand poured and that canvas that hangs on your wall, reminding you of that trip you took last summer. ”
"I consider myself as being multi passionate. Drawing and painting is my way to capture my love for travelling and the beauty of this world whereas ceramics give me a sense of peace and comfort."
Sophie Le: art print, home decor, lifestyle, and more
I am a graphic designer and home decor enthusiast residing in between Vietnam and the UK. I fuse cultural influences and personal emotions in designs for my brand Home Decor by SNL. My work delves into themes of identity and cultural heritage, echoing my diverse upbringing. Committed to slow craft and promoting sustainability within the interior industry, I envision Arteli.Lê Collective as a hub for kindred creatives to advocate for more conscious consumption of home & lifestyle products.
“I gravitate towards abstract forms, vibrant, eclectic colour schemes, and the enigmatic narratives inherent in the concept of futurism.”
Sek Jewellery: silver jewellery, recycled sea glass, and more
“I’m the founder of Sek Jewellery - a slow jewellery brand for the wanderers and the dreamers. I started it whilst travelling through Bali and meeting talented artisans on the way. I wanted to create opportunities for them and also give back to local community projects. I work directly with artisans on the island to produce high quality, long lasting 925 sea glass jewellery. Minimising waste is important to me so each piece is packaged in a recyclable glass bottle and dispatched in reused materials. Anything unsold is recycled and turned into new pieces. 10% from each sale is donated to Bye Bye Plastic Bags - a youth movement empowering people to take action against plastic. ”
"I want to encourage people to purchase pieces that are slowly and lovingly handmade by human hands. I want the pieces to be treasured to make them last for years to come."
