Leandro Martins was born in 1980 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He currently lives and works in Porto, Portugal. His research discusses and eternizes the memory of raw and simple things. His body of work dialogues with what is symbolic, playful and real, pervading memories of a loving ancestral childhood mixed with his personal documental expeditions. His work explores the human-earth-habitat connection and the transformations of humanity based on this relationship with reality. In his permanent search for appropriation, he immerses in the scenarios around him, capturing places, people and occasions in their diversity and habitats.
His work intersects contemporary art with documentary photography, presenting work that results from a refined look of aesthetic sense, reflection and sensitivity.
