guided by the whispers of ancient myths.

Leo Biaggi was born with the soul of a sculptor—his hands instinctively drawn to clay, metal, and stone from a young age, as if guided by whispers of ancient myths. Raised amid stories of Olympian gods, heroic mortals, and mythical creatures, Leo found early inspiration in the timeless narratives of Greek mythology. These tales stirred something deep within him: a fascination with universal themes of love, loss, heroism, and the complexities of human nature.

Equally passionate about science, mathematics and the mysteries of the cosmos, Leo seeks to merge mythology with the principles of quantum physics—exploring the intersection of the ancient and the modern, the seen and the unseen.

Influenced by visionaries like Leonardo da Vinci, Benvenuto Cellini, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman, Leo is on a personal quest to redefine the “Universal Man” for the 21st century.

He honed his craft under master sculptors in both New York and Florence, Italy, and now creates original works and commissioned pieces for collectors and exhibitions around the world.

the seen and the unseen.

Having lived in and traveled to many countries, Leo’s artistic vision is deeply shaped by the textures, rituals, and rhythms of diverse cultures—each journey leaving its imprint on his hands, his senses, and the stories he brings to life in form.

“The greatest artist does not have any concept
Which a single piece of marble does not itself contain
Within its excess, though only
A hand that obeys the intellect can discover it.”

— Michelangelo Buonarroti, I Sonetti

Fittingly, his favorite myth is that of Circe—the powerful and enigmatic enchantress from Homer’s Odyssey—a symbol of transformation, wisdom, and the mystery of the in-between.

“When I was born, the word for what I was did not exist.”

Leo’s work reminds us that both matter and meaning are always in motion.

Each sculpture becomes both artifact and experiment. He invites you to step inside these myth-infused forms—to feel the pulse of ancient stories meeting modern science—and to discover your own place in the ever-unfolding Odyssey of the human spirit.
