Awardee Of The International Prize Leonardo Da Vinci Italy

 I am very proud to share that my connection to Italy continues and I have been awarded aside fifty other worldwide artists the 'International Prize for Leonardo Da Vinci 2023'. This prestigious annual award is presented to selected artists based on their professional artistic merits and practice.

The inauguration took place on April 5, 2023, at the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo Da Vinci in Milan, the heart of Italy, in the presence of art lovers and collectors, journalists and politicians.

The renowned museum is the largest technical-scientific museum in Italy and one of the largest in Europe.

It has the largest collection in the world of machine models made from drawings by Leonardo.

The Leonardo Da Vinci Award’s sculpture trophy is handmade by skilled Florentine artisans, also presented to the International public, "A Mystery Called Gioconda" by the author Francesco Saverio Russo with a dedication to the participants.

Also during the ceremony, Francesco Saverio Russo presented the book “A Mystery Called Gioconda” with a personalized dedication to participants.

A very special “Contemporary Celebrity Masters” Vol. II art publication will include the artworks of the prize-winning artists together with an article on the history and life of Leonardo Da Vinci.
An absolute honour to be part of this even though I was unable to attend the presentation.
