Leslie Weaver is a mixed media artist who surely knows how to play around with festive colors and forms. She creates these super bold paintings that are fabulously colorful and the women she paints are beautiful and fearless. Leslie gets her inspiration from global culture, patterns and fashion, maybe that’s why we’re so into her art! Her color mixes are so good, I can’t get over how cool her color palettes are. Beautiful pinks and sunny yellows mixed with hot red, turquoise and royal blue…Such a voyage! Her art is pure eye candy.

These paintings were created by Leslie Weaver exclusively for Baba Souk and will be available in our virtual art gallery for a limited time only.

Our goal is turn our online gallery into a happy place where you can discover the work of new artists. We’ll be hosting an online vernissage of our favorite artists from around the world. Starting with the amazingly talented Leslie Weaver and her stunning, exotic, tropical-cool women.

I’ve decided to create this “Baba” art gallery 1. Obviously because I feel we should all buy more art, myself included! (I bought my first original artwork not that long ago and it feels so good to own an original piece of art & to feel you are personally encouraging an artist.) 2. I feel totally captivated by some original art pieces and I really want to share all this beauty with you guys. (Ok, I admit, I would love to keep them all for myself, open a funky museum, and I would definitely invite you!) Seriously, the pieces I curate really touch me, there’s something about the color combinations that make me happy, my eyes want to stare longer and I feel good just looking at them. I know I love bold and I know only cool cats like you will be able to appreciate. As I always say: finding talent in others is my only talent. -Stephanie

If you can’t buy one, just enjoy them! I hope you can help me share these pieces of art and promote these wonderful artists. Let’s pin, tweet, facebook and share all this beautiful art!

Original artworks, one-of-a-kind collage
Mix media : Paper cuttings & painting
Size : 9″ x 12″. Unframed.

Flowers are, if we can agree, one of the most delicate, intricate creations of nature. They have spellbound orchid hunters and created vast empires of riches. They can be lowly, like the road side buttercups, or extravagant like double bloom roses. Either way, they are as charming as they are beautiful and they are the subject of the Botanical Cuttings collection by artist Emeline Villedary. In creating whimsical arrangements, she uses form and color to create richly textured compositions. A cool mix of paper cuttings and part of A playful nod to standard hotel lobby arrangements, Emeline used the flowers of her own garden to structure the elements of the collage pieces.

When artist Emeline Villedary & I decided to create this illustration collaboration together, we knew it would involve botanics, pastel flowers and luscious green leaves. What SHE didn’t know is that she would create such magical artwork. To be honest, I had a feeling our collection would involve that kind of striking beauty – because she’s that good.

We also decided to have the illustrations printed locally in Montreal on the most luxurious Arches paper ever seen! I’m not kidding, guys, they look and feel like original artwork. They are drop dead gorgeous!

I just adore how beautiful and feminine the prints are but yet, they show such strong movement and determination. I feel they are the perfect gift for a mother or a daughter. We also came to the conclusion that it would feel right to give back with this beautiful art project. Emeline and I are both mothers and we were chatting about how difficult it must be to raise a child as a solo-parent. We decided to give $5 back for each print sold to a local organisation Emeline knew about. It’s called “MAP Montreal”. Their mission is to empower single mothers and help them get an education, a decent job, affordable rent and subsidized day care for their child. Most of all, it helps women stand strong and confident as solo moms.

***$5 on each print sold will be donated to MAP Montreal. It’s mission is to empower solo-parenting mothers***

Meet artist Emeline Villedary:
I dreamed of being an artist and fashion designer as a child. And a florist, and a horse veteranarian, oh and a magazine editor, too.  I spent my days drawing rainbows and unicorns and flowers. Fast forward 30 + years and  not much has changed… I’ve  got the artist part down, and I do love me some flowers… you can find renditions of them in most of my work. I spend days in my studio letting the magical process work its way onto my paper or canvas.  In the end, I’ve poured and cut and painted up a mess that eventually becomes an abstract composition. I know it’s done when the  shapes and colors sweep me away to a psychedelic state of wonder.

It’s messy but necessary.

Zoe Boivin is an upcoming Canadian painter. We are delighted to present this collection, inspired by her latest trip to Morocco. It’s a visual explosion of colours and emotions on canvas and as they often say in Morocco “It’s a pleasure for your eyes”.

La Vacance, 2018
Size: 36″x36″ (91cm x 91cm)

A few words by Zoe Boivin

The inspiration behind my paintings are in all the colours and memories I recall from my latest trip to Morocco. This North African destination is a real frenzy of textures and colours. Everywhere I looked I found visual inspiration, the walls, the vegetation, the clothing, the food, it’s a real heaven for visual artists.

Surrounded by the colours and the bustling rhythm of Morocco, I couldn’t resist drawing a few sketches. Inspired by the peaks of the amazing high Atlas mountains, the heart of the Sahara desert or simply while observing the crowd meanderings down the labyrinths of the old Marrakech Medina.

When I got back to my Quebec studio, I had the urge to paint. I surrounded myself with my sketchbook, my pictures, and I let my paintbrush dance on the canvas while remembering the rhythm, the perfumes and all the beauty of this magical voyage. Thank you Morocco, your colours made me feel so good.
