“Come dip your toes into the psychedelic stream of Leif Padhajsky’s imagination for some striking abstractions of nature – mirrored vistas, engulfing waves, rippling, melting cosmic landscapes.”
The Guardian

XLR8R Magazine
“Whether he’s colliding nature with space or exploring the human body through photo experiments, Podhajsky’s multi-disciplined output resembles an encyclopedia of the metaphysical. He also has the precise artistic skill set to be a master at the dying medium of album art.”
