Artur Leão, born in 1997, is a visual artist based in Porto. He began working as a designer for scopio Editions, where he developed a particular attention to the art of visual storytelling and bookmaking. Since then, his focus has been on developing photographic projects that reveal his inner process of imaginative transmutation while exploring archaeological sites, pristine landscapes, and people connected to the rural world in his ancestral land. In his work, connections between poetry, mythology, and religion emerge through a gaze that reflects the language of nature in its incomprehensible complexity and reconditeness. He consistently captures scenarios where he perceives potential for channeling a mystical dimension onto the surface of the image.
