I’m Leo Ogier, a 17-year-old artist based in Guernsey. I live with autism, and I began creating art after facing bullying at school. From that moment, painting became my safe space—a way to express emotions, find calm, and shape my experiences. Since then, I haven’t stopped—art is my life.
At Leoogierart, I work with both spray paint and acrylics. I love creating landscapes and solar systems using spray paint, while I turn to acrylics for animals and intricate details. Sometimes, I combine both mediums, or I work purely with one. I even add 24-karat gold leaf to some pieces. My art has two sides: the spray-painted landscapes—mountains, stencils, and celestial scenes—and the acrylic side, where I focus on animals and delicate detail. I enjoy both forms equally, and I aim to create art that people can connect with, relate to, and find personal meaning in.

My Story
Art saved me when I felt truly lost. After facing relentless bullying at school, I was overwhelmed by hopelessness—I didn’t know if I wanted to stay. But in those moments, I turned to spray paint—not with any big plan, but just to mess around, to let my emotions out. I didn’t expect it to grow into something so powerful. At first, it was just a release—landscapes, abstract skies—but as I kept going, I added acrylics, fine details, animals. And now, I can hardly believe it—this art that once helped me survive is what I now sell at Seafront Sundays. It’s crazy to think that this started as a simple way to cope, and now it’s become my life. I hope when you see my art, you not only enjoy it, but you feel a connection—because it’s not just about how it looks; it’s about what it means and how we connect through it.
I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities.
