LEONARDO
At only eleven years old, Leonardo has been able to experience what it means to be an artist on a global level.
What for him is entertainment, sometimes born between the school desks, sometimes made at home, has become in Asia, specifically in Korea, a fresh and unique work.
Among which stand out:
-KIAF (Korean International Art Fair)
-Art Busan
-Alleyway Gwanggyoo
Some of his works have been integrated with augmented reality, so that the animations come to life for the viewer from their phones or tablets.
Others have been turned into fiberglass sculptures, such as the "dog" or Mickey's head.
In Spain, his family organized, together with the PLOM GALLERY, what was his first exhibition in 2017.
He has exhibited at the RED GALLERY in Mallorca, in artfairs as URVANITY in , VLAB Madrid 2022 and New York 2023.
Brands like Nike, Zara, Mango, Mutua Madrid Open have been supporting his talent, so as the singer Sebastian Yatra, who ask him to design the cover of his single “ Energia Bacana”.
He is currently part of the artists represented by VILLAZAN internationally.
Instead of taking him to painting classes, his parents have taken him to artist studios where he soaked up first-hand what they do. Antonyo Marest has always been his best mentor.
His family places special emphasis on treating this talent as naturally as possible, letting Leonardo enjoy being a child, and they encourage art as a game tool.
As Picasso said: All children are born artists. The problem is how to continue being artists growing up.
We can consider little Leonardo, a shortcut from art to the world of children and vice versa.
Through it, not only many children become aware of art as a free creative interpretation and thus stimulated, they enjoy an extremely important discipline in intellectual and emotional development.
In addition, the viewer opens up to a new vision of the child's potential.
