Xavi uses his unique story to show readers how to use art for self-expression and wellbeing.
When day trader Xavi picked up a brush during lockdown in 2020, he found a whole new world of communication for feelings. Throughout this journal, he explains how anyone can put their thoughts and dreams on paper, no matter what training they have. Themed around key wellness topics like healthy living, positive thinking and expressing emotions, each chapter contains lots of inspiration for art from the heart. Plus, there's ample room for readers to make the journal their own by filling the pages with their art - and there's even a free online art club to join.
Xavier Leopold began painting during lockdown in 2020 with no prior art training, and found fame with his unique abstract portraits. He is the founder of ByXaviArt, has exhibited at London's OXO Tower Wharf, and runs workshops to spread awareness of causes like Black Lives Matter and mental health issues to young people.
