Art as a Catalyst for Healing
Meet “DAY”
Dana Leon, known as "DAY", is a Mexican-American artist who discovered art as a powerful coping mechanism for navigating life with Tarlov Cyst Disease and Crohn’s Disease. Through her work, she explores resilience, transformation, and the beauty found in even the most difficult struggles.
DAY specializes in UV Reactive Art and Holographic Pointillism, fascinated by neon colors and intricate dot work. This passion has led to her deep admiration for artists like Georges Seurat, Frida Kahlo, and Vincent van Gogh, whose techniques and storytelling inspire her own artistic journey.
the gateway to A UNIVERSAL TRANCENDANCE
“DAY” uses her art to help others find beauty in life despite adversity. Her work transcends traditional mediums, combining digital media, sculpture, film, and photography to create immersive experiences.
In 2021, she launched the MELTED! Collection, a vibrant series of digital media, sculptures, and paintings inspired by Vincent van Gogh, Pop Art, and the energy of New York City. This collection reflects themes of distortion, perception, and the melting together of emotions, experiences, and time.
