Leandro Escalotti
Leandro Escalotti is a successful modern artist. He is specialised in abstract art, often exposed in expansive acrylic paintings. His paintings are usually 98x78x2,4 inches. In Leandro Escalotti's own words, “art is a reflection of the past and the present”. According to the artist, “all of us leave a certain mark in our lives, to a certain extent. However, the importance or permanence of said trace will depend on how well we forge our marks”. As such, with his philosophy as a starting point, Leandro Escalotti searches for perfection and shares his “marks” with the whole world.

Leandro Escalotti has undertaken to share his works internationally in December 2013. The artist's sole mission in each of his works is to get to the very essence of the individual, inciting and exalting the senses of those who are witness to his works.

Works: His first international collection, also published on the web, is called Claritas ‘13 and is made up of seven exclusive paintings.

Potestas

This painting is a full-blown expression of agressivity and power, abstract and limitless, without bounds of any sort.

Liberati As its own name implies, this painting is an ode to freedom, a reflection of nature's depeest desires to escape its own confines and limitations.

Tempus sistit The slow, inevitable passing of time according to today's technology-controlled world: “buffering” as the new expression of the agony of each passing second.

Progressus The painting may indicate a sort of manifestation of success and growth, but the black background invites us to think otherwise: what is the human cost of it all?

Ratio Clearly inspired by Rothko, this hypnotic painting is a depiction of controlled violence, a violence which could unleash itself any second with unforeseeable consequences.

Splendoribus This painting ('splendor') depicts light, however small, as a symbol of hope; a glimmer of hope, that is, which sometimes tends to lie in the outside.

Societas As a reflection of our most basic form of identity, the painting goes back in time and shows us how it was expressed in prehistoric times, showing us that mankind's need for expression is inherent and necessary to expose our needs and desires; to show, after all, who we are.
