In 1944 Silvia Leitu moved to live in Germany. From 1953 she lived in Sweden as a freelance artist, exhibiting actively and making book illustrations. In Sweden Silvia Leitu was known primarily as a virtuoso watercolourist. Her watercolours of Estonian folk costumes show the approach of a costume designer.
