[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Leonardo Benatov was born in 1942 into a family of artists who fled communist Russia. His father was a painter (Bounatian-Benatov) and became known in France by exhibiting in 1927 at the Salon des Ind\u00e9pendants and the Salon d’Automne. Her mother is a writer who signs her works under the name Livja Flood. The family circle will frequent Larionov, Goncharova, Rodchenko, Soutine and other artists in exile.<\/p>\n

At 16, Leonardo joined an uncle in Brazil and tried to cross the Amazon. Captured by the anthropophagic Indians, he remained a prisoner for a year after marrying the daughter of the chief of the tribe, \u201cErik Paxa\u201d.<\/p>\n

In 1964, the military revolution in Brazil forced him to return to France where he attempted without success to present a sculpture at the Salon d’Automne. From this date, Leonardo will never stop drawing and sculpting and it is natural that he arrives in 1975\/76 in art casting.<\/p>\n

From then on, this artist with an imposing physique would pursue his career as foundry director and sculptor, granting a particular place in his works to feelings, distress and the grandeur of being.<\/p>\n

Adorning parks or public buildings, you can admire a \u201cBroken Man\u201d in the garden museum of the town of Gravelines, a representation of the musician Rossini at the Opera of Pesaro, his birthplace (as well as at UNESCO) , a bust of Napoleon at Ajaccio airport…<\/p>\n

The artist bowed out on June 11, 2018, while exhibitions in Japan and China were being prepared…<\/p>\n

Leonardo Benatov holds the order of Knight of Arts and Letters<\/p>\n
