Margherita Leoni
Wide watercoloured diptych, elegant light blue paintings by Margherita Leoni

2020

About the Item

This exceptional diptych reveals Margherita Leoni's skill in mastering a dimension, with watercolour, impressive and effective in every respect: technical, aesthetic, and scientific. The two watercolours have been stretched and mounted on canvas to display easily. Pseudobombax grandiflora - Diptych Both inches 82.6 x 59 (global 82.6 x 118) - cm h. 210 x 150 (total 210 x 300) The large diptych has been displayed in the main exhibition of the Selvatica festival (Biella), from which the image reproduced here derives. It is a kind of tapestry, albeit developed in watercolour, covering a surface area of over two metres. The size of the two paintings allows them to be used as sliding doors if mounted properly. As well as panelling. The elegant, slightly pearlised colour makes them one of the most elegant paintings ever made by the skilful painter. Botanical watercolourist. Born in Bergamo in 1974. She graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan in 1997. In the same year, she spent six months in the Reserva Biològica de Quebrangulo, where she began to transpose the various species of wild Brazilian vegetation to paper, painting with watercolours. Thus began her work dedicated to wild plants, with a particular focus on the main Brazilian biomes, rainforest (Amazon), humid tropical forest and the Cerrado. After living in Brazil for twelve years, the artist has now returned with her family to Italy where she lives and works.

  • Mighty oak on a gold-leaf background by Italian botanical artist
    By Margherita Leoni
    Located in Milan, IT
    The artist has an elegant mark of nature, and the experience of working en plein air allows her to capture emotions that would otherwise not be possible. She is considered Italy's best botanical artist and collaborates with many botanical gardens where she also holds watercolour courses, a technique she masters like few contemporary artists. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless gold, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls. Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to develop interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee. Among her most important exhibitions, three of her artworks were selected by Shirley Sherwood...
