Leonardo Ventapane (Brazil, 1979) lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. In his works, drawing, photography, sculpture, performance, video or painting envision a common horizon of drift and delay in vast landscapes — whether in geography, in the studio or in the gallery. Artist-researcher, he teaches arts and design at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. In 2021, he was in Coimbra for his post-doctorate at the College of Arts of the University of Coimbra.
