SUMMARY
For as long as I can remember I've always been among creatives, at lunch or dinner, discussing ideas for billboards and panels that we saw pass by in the car window, while we were out with the family. At home, it was my advertising father, plastic artist and musician, my artisan mother and sociologist, my advertising sister and architect, the rebel is my younger brother, lawyer, civil servant. As for me, I surrendered to curiosity for ways to communicate through images, visual senses,
concepts, signs, meanings, how they cause us sensations and reactions. Well then, let's move on.

Academic Coordinator at UNIC - University of Cuiabá
When we need the images to show what we feel, think, want to express, we have a big challenge. Léo Davi is this guy who manages to "translate" what we feel. Léo is sensitive to our requests, he really listens, and he is really interested in our demand.
When Calcinhas Folgadas was being organized for editing/publication, it lacked that cover that showed what the book is inside. Léo went far beyond what I imagined for Calcinhas Folgadas. Leo didn't make a book cover image, Leo created artwork for the book cover.
After the launch of the book, I heard from several readers about how much the cover and the content dialogue with each other, complement each other, talk delicately, and this was the proposal that we aligned. So, Leo understood me, and that's perfect!
I also heard: I bought the book for the cover, then I enjoyed reading it, but the first enchantment was for the cover, who made the cover: Léo Davi!
And this is Léo Davi, who I highly recommend, a talented, competent and sensitive artist, who gives you much more than you can imagine.
A big hug Léo Davi, I'm your fan! And I wish that many people have the privilege of counting on your work, talent and creativity, just as I have!
