About the Item
This painting can be displayed both vertically and horizontally.
The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless silver, 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 developed an interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, including the one presented here, 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 for the Kew Garden exhibition in 2014 (London, Botanical artists of the third millennium, 2014). Furthermore, in 2016 her artworks were exhibited at Renzo Piano's Museum, MUSE, where she was a protagonist of a solo temporary exhibition.
She then moved back to Italy, where she is represented by Salamon Fine Art.
The artwork is stretched and ready to be hung, already framed.
