About the Item
Interpreting reality with skill and expertise is Margherita Leoni's principal value. She has been studying botany for decades and has an incredible hand that allows her to make watercolour paintings in plein air, even when they are significant.
She has long complemented her watercolors with oil paintings on a gold background, or watercolours and tempera on paper prepared with pure gold, which she then mounted on canvas.
Due to her sophisticated and mature style, Margherita Leoni is considered the best Italian botanical artist.
Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy. However, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. There, she started collaborating with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to develop exciting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks illustrate Brazilian botanical species, both rare and common.
The artist's watercolour mastery allows her to participate in botanical expeditions, where she paints in plein air. S also collaborates with many botanical gardens, where she holds watercolour courses. With her exquisite technique and extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is Margaret Mee's heir.
In 2014, Shirley Sherwood selected three of her artworks for the Kew Garden exhibition (London, "Botanical Artists of the Third Millennium", 2014). In 2016, her artworks were exhibited at Renzo Piano's Museum, MUSE, where she participated in a solo temporary exhibition.
