Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and at the Academy of Brera in Milan, Leonardo Cremonini will develop a style based on the fragmentation of figuration. He continued his artistic career thanks to a scholarship in the city of Paris, developing a lyrical and metaphysical style, full of daring. Throughout his career he held numerous exhibitions, not only nationally but also internationally: Paris, New York and London.

The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The chosen artists work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, passing through abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, or the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international projection, widely recognized by the critics.
