Artist Spotlight - Leo Gesess

One image – one mission. What does my image have to do with Francis of Assisi (Francis of Assisi is considered the patron saint of animals, the environment, and ecology. In the prayer “Canticle of the Sun,” which the saint wrote in the 13th century, he described animals as brothers and sisters of humans and expressed gratitude to nature, its phenomena, and wonders.) with my picture or series of pictures? 800 years! On the 800th (this year-2026) anniversary of his death, my picture was chosen as the cover for a book entitled “Animal Worlds of Art.”

Interview with Leo Gesess

The day when my consciousness reached the stage where I could consciously perceive feelings, when I understood that each of my works is born. Each one on its own with its own existence. Born, independent of space and time, to then live an existence detached from goal, time, purpose or content. Connected without being methodical. Without any connexion. In no way predictable and always surprisingly different than expected. Stylishness as a stylistic device.
