gaetanoleonardi graduated at the Ied-Illustration Department in Rome, specialized at the Ecole Superieure d’Arts Graphiques in Paris.
He can’t remember when he started making art. He works to live, to communicate, to express himself. He wants people get involved in his work.
Two words to describe this ancient idea, art has to be wonder and amazement.

“Mith is a tool to translate reality, mith is the explanation of a ritual-a formal way to express tribe needs-mith is a structure from the believings of the group. Nowadays mith is evolving, changes, becames an icon, a commercial icon, sensual and “man-eater”, molding common ideas and archetypes.In the last decades art mokes on social and culture through the representation of new icons. The idea of evoking superheroes-ancient mith through the modern view of the last 50 years-is not taken from an aestethic reason, is derived from the willing of represent the emptyness of the status symbol concept. An iconography lascivious, lustful, audacious embeds contemporary heroes and generates the ethic clash between classic and modern mith.”

"Il mito è uno strumento di trasposizione della realtà, il mito e' spiegazione di un rito, di un atto formale che corrisponde a esigenze della tribù, il mito e' struttura delle credenze di un gruppo. Oggi il mito si evolve, muta, divenendo icona, icona commerciale, sexy e nello stesso tempo divoratrice di uomini, plasmatrice di luoghi comuni del pensiero. Nell'ultimo decennio l'arte si beffa della socio-cultura attraverso la raffigurazione delle nuove icone. La scelta e il richiamo ai "super-eroi", il mito antico letto attraverso la chiave moderna degli ultimi 50 anni, non deriva da un fattore estetico bensì dalla volontà di rappresentazione della vacuità dello status symbol. Una iconografia lasciva, lussuriosa, audace si abbraccia agli eroi attuali generando lo scontro etico tra il mito classico e contemporaneo."
