Artist and The Muse by Léo Manelli

About Léo Manelli

Born in Italy in 1980, Léo Manelli stands as a modern-day embodiment of artistic fusion, seamlessly blending traditional and contemporary styles to create captivating, timeless works of art. He aims to bridge the gap between 19th-Century Art and Modernity by creating replicas of 19th-century oil paintings with playful, contemporary twists. Each brushstroke reflects a harmonious dialogue between the past and the present, inviting viewers into a world where tradition and innovation coexist in perfect harmony.

Splitting his time between the vibrant cultural hubs of Italy and France, Manelli's journey into the world of art commenced at the renowned Fine Art Academy in Florence, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. His paintings are now exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, with his most recent show at Palm Beach Modern & Contemporary being described as a “can’t miss” event. There is also investment potential with Manelli’s work, with it being collected globally. 

Beyond the realm of art, Manelli is deeply involved with AMREF Health Africa, a leading health organization dedicated to improving the lives of communities across the continent. His philanthropic endeavors underscore his belief in the transformative power of art as a force for positive change, and regularly donates artworks for charity auctions in Paris.
