Drawing from the well of time, memory, & his subconscious.

Leo Frontini is a Los Angeles-based artist, born in 2000 in Cleveland, Ohio. Frontini was raised in a creative yet solitary household that encouraged him to think abstractly and visually. An unconscious but intuitive practice that he nurtured passionately. After suffering several head injuries, he found himself in the solitude of his mind, exploring the automatic practice of sketching. His upbringing quickly developed into a prodigious compulsion to express himself through two-dimensional media.

Frontini received a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design(2023), studying great masters of the past in between frequent Life Drawing sessions. He promptly began his career after graduation with two solo exhibitions in LA. His practice combines his complicated exploration of the subconscious mind and emotional tumult with an exhaustive knowledge of human anatomy, oil painting techniques, and draftsmanship that is unique in its range of influence.

Exploring his work is like embarking on a journey that engages both the senses and intellect. His paintings are often accompanied by evocative poetry, an instrumental part of his practice in exploring the hidden allegories of his work. Frontinis’ compositions hold the viewer in captivation and contemplation—a kindling of transcendence.
