Quotes
Leonilson: There was a time when it was said that the paintings are over, and that the art was gone. But painting was never forgotten. There were painters who kept going, and the pop art is responsible for its continuation, I think. It kept this tradition of ink over a canvas. Life and art are part of the leap in the abyss that I decided to give. To live I need to paint. It's my way of spending the days, you know. We gotta live, right? And I had to find a nice way to live. I have this idea that when one says "What'll be your profession?" instead the person should ask "What is gonna be the best form of a nice way for you to live?".
