This striking artwork portrays a chimpanzee with a whimsical expression, partially covering its face with one hand. The vibrant palette, featuring vivid blues, oranges, and yellows, injects a lively energy into the piece. The artist masterfully blends the colors, creating a textured, almost ethereal glow that highlights the chimpanzee's curious demeanor. Fluttering around the subject are delicately detailed butterflies, each displaying varying hues, symbolizing transformation and freedom. The background transitions smoothly from soft gray to pale blue, enhancing the sense of depth. This captivating composition invites viewers to explore themes of introspection and playfulness, while the dynamic interplay of colors and textures renders the piece both visually engaging and thought-provoking.

Presentation
Hani Badawi Leo is a visual artist whose works are born from a deep connection between emotion, cultural identity, and universal beauty. Raised in a land rich in tradition, diverse peoples, and radiant light — Egypt — he developed a strong passion for drawing and painting from a very young age, captivated by the expressive power of faces, landscapes, and natural symbolism.
After gaining artistic experience in various international contexts, he embarked on a personal journey of study, experimentation, and dialogue with diverse global audiences. With his multifaceted sensitivity and open vision, Hani began establishing connections and collaborations with collectors and art lovers from around the world by the age of 20.
This global openness led him to choose one of the most modern and culturally rich cities as his creative base: Milan. There, he founded his atelier, which has become not only a creative space but also a place of inspiration and meaningful encounters.
His work moves fluidly between expressive figuration, contemporary Pop Art, and abstract-symbolic compositions. Color is the absolute protagonist — powerful, vibrant, alive. His canvases are populated by strong and symbolic animals and emotionally intense human faces, becoming profound tools of communication between artist and viewer.
Among his major influences are Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí — masters who inspired him for their ability to break conventions, explore the unseen, and merge art, science, and imagination.
Hani Badawi Leo doesn't follow trends, but rather a personal creative urgency: to paint what he feels, what he sees in the world, and within himself. Each work is born as an emotional journey, a visual narrative that invites the viewer to pause, feel, and reflect.
He regularly exhibits in solo and group shows, and his works are held in private collections across Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, and Russia. He is represented by international online galleries and has been featured in TV interviews, newspapers, and art magazines.
His art is a fusion of expressive freedom, attention to detail, and a constant pursuit of human connection — because for Hani Badawi Leo, art is above all a language of the heart.
