Tom Leonardo

Tom Leonardo is just an average guy who began painting as way of coping with loneliness and solitude after being widowed. 
He has been drawn to art since childhood. As an adult living in Manhattan, he was a frequent presence in the city’s vast and vibrant art scene, which is so deeply woven into the fabric of that great city.
Tom paints purely from feeling. As he works, something unexpected emerges from the canvas—along with a story and a title. Whenever he tries to paint with a specific subject in mind, the result falls short. His process is always spontaneous.
To Tom, art that reflects the real world captures a single moment in time. His art, by contrast, portrays things that have never existed—making each piece truly unique.
No two people ever see his art in quite the same way., he is often surprised when viewers point out meanings or images in his work that he himself never saw.
Tom invites you to explore his work freely, without a map or compass—allowing your imagination guide the way.
