class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leonardo Leporatti began his artistic journey in Florence in the late 1990s, initially moving between painting, drawing, and sculpture.<br>After earning his diploma in Advertising Graphics and Photography from the Istituto d\u2019Arte di Porta Romana, his research gradually expanded into digital languages, blending traditional techniques and contemporary media in a constant dialogue between gesture and surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The use of diverse materials \u2014 stucco, paint, aluminum, digital prints, and wooden structures \u2014 gives rise to compositions that oscillate between order and chaos, between architectural rigor and material vibration.<br>The structure of the artwork itself becomes part of its language: frame and visual field blur together, generating a dynamic and unstable spatiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abstraction, for Leporatti, is not detachment but a symbolic interpretation of reality.<br>Throughout his career, he has presented his work in solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad.<br>Among his most significant experiences are his participation in programs at the Centro de Historia in Zaragoza (Spain, 2007), his presentation at the Node Center for Curatorial Studies in Berlin (Germany, 2013), and collaborations with institutions and festivals such as Fabbrica Europa, Museo Pecci, and Contemporanea Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside his artistic production, Leporatti developed <em>Thenewpostart<\/em> (2009), a project for emerging art that serves as a platform dedicated to promoting young artists and experimenting with new formats of visual communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He currently lives and works in Florence, focusing on research centered on abstract digital language, where the image manifests as trace, residue, or interference between analog materials and virtual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"
