Ep. 17 | Working With Interior Designers — Leticia Demeuse on Art, Space & Flow

Summary 

In this episode of Decoding the Flow, host Drica Lobo sits down with contemporary artist Leticia Demeuse to explore what it truly means to work with interior designers and create art that lives inside real spaces.

Leticia shares her journey from a background in advertising to building a thriving art practice rooted in intuition, emotional connection, and awareness. She reflects on the evolution of her work — from florals to large-scale abstract paintings — and how creating art for interiors has shaped both her creative process and her professional growth.

The conversation dives into how artists can successfully collaborate with interior designers, the importance of visibility and relationship-building, and what changes when art becomes part of a curated environment rather than a standalone object.

Leticia also opens up about her experience seeing her work placed in high-visibility spaces, how flow functions as a meditative state in her studio practice, and why valuing your work is essential when navigating the design and art worlds.

The episode concludes with insights on mindset, patience, and creative expansion, along with a glimpse into Leticia’s upcoming projects — including her largest canvas to date and new explorations in texture, scale, and inspiration drawn from lived experience.
