Leo Battistelli

Leo Battistelli is a recognised Argentine artist, born in Rosario and now based in Rio de Janeiro. Leo's practice exists at the intersection of art and design, with ceramics at its core, reflecting an ongoing exploration of the relationship between people, nature, and territory. Through both the materials he works with and the themes that shape his practice—alchemy, spirituality, ecology, and the natural world—he creates a dialogue with the environment. In this conversation, Leo shares how his personal life and artistic practice are deeply intertwined. A passionate advocate for ecology, he introduces lichens into public spaces to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the environment and the vital role of clean air in our lives. * The spoken language in this episode is Spanish.
