Leo Mancini-Hresko
b. 1981 Boston, MA
Leo Mancini-Hresko is an oil painter that creates painterly, dynamic work with bold, rich use of the medium and effects of light and shade on the canvas. In the tradition of the impressionists of the last century, after classical training, he chooses to work in a broad, urgent style full of evident brushwork and layering, even when rendering sensitive subjects.
Mancini-Hresko lived in Florence from 2000-2011, and attended The Florence Academy of Art, where he was given a position a head instructor and artist in residence for much of his time at the school. Towards the end of his time in Florence, he spent an increasing amount of time painting outdoors, studying effects of color and light to combine with his academic training.
In 2011 Leo returned to his native Boston, Massachusetts, and works at his studio in a historic mill building in Waltham, MA. Since 2005, he has exhibited his work in the US and abroad, and is represented widely in both private and public collections.
Leo teaches in Florence, both privately in his studio and at the Florence Academy of Art. He has exhibited throughout the United States and Europe, including exhibitions in Florence, London, Santa Fe, Nantucket, Dublin, and New York. Leo’s October 2009 show marks his second solo exhibition with Ann Long Fine Art.
