For him, this saying suggests that if what one longs for is not readily accessible, one must find a way to reach it.The artist connects this idea to his own upbringing, using it as an invitation to explore how landscapes, both remembered and imagined, can evoke feelings of home and fulfill emotional needs. The pieces in this show are shaped by childhood memories, textures, and colors from his birthplace in the Canary Islands. They express a yearning to reconstruct these landscapes as a way to process absence, distance, and the subtle ache of dislocation. Suiseki is the Japanese art of appreciating naturally occurring or shaped stones that resemble landscapes, objects, or scenes from nature. Traditionally, a meditative and poetic practice, suiseki invites viewers to see mountains, rivers, or distant horizons within the smallest of stones.In a multicultural gesture, Leandro reinterprets this ancient art form through a contemporary lens, embedding his sense of identity and belonging by using this medium to recreate the Canary Islands essence within a Vietnamese context. In doing so, he brings together multiple geographies and cultural threads, using local materials and global symbols to reflect the emotional topography of home. Over time, the original saying has become so embedded in cultural memory that people often recite it backwards, suggesting that the Mountain must come to Mohammed. This inversion feels apt, Leandro, unable to return to the mountain of his childhood, has chosen to bring it to him instead. In the room's stillness, each stone becomes a vessel of memory.Where there is a will, there is a way. This exhibition is ultimately about longing, absence, and the quiet, persistent ways we forge connection. https://leandromarcelino.com/Layers Wed, 07 Jun 2023 12:15:02 +0000 Leandro Marcelino https://leandromarcelino.com/Layers <img width="1392" height="1900" width_o="1392" height_o="1900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/75d3640f0133db33764d5af8ebfc2534002c4f73cdf51063f7bfbd0a1bb803d5/000014860007.png" data-mid="181317851" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/75d3640f0133db33764d5af8ebfc2534002c4f73cdf51063f7bfbd0a1bb803d5/000014860007.png" /> <img width="1392" height="1900" width_o="1392" height_o="1900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e1180d247aa0987d00ceb386d022123788df3ba6eafdda730cb6a42d19259bc/000014860010.png" data-mid="190450602" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e1180d247aa0987d00ceb386d022123788df3ba6eafdda730cb6a42d19259bc/000014860010.png" /> <img width="1392" height="1900" width_o="1392" height_o="1900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0b542da3b50aeb2638b8c07450540d0e6ec2012fb56ad1b41c8619f4dead72f9/000014860009e.png" data-mid="181317853" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0b542da3b50aeb2638b8c07450540d0e6ec2012fb56ad1b41c8619f4dead72f9/000014860009e.png" /> Ceramic, mix clays. 2023.

Landscape Gradients. The ceramic collection explores the relationship between landscape shapes and gradients. The silhouettes of the vases were inspired by the phenomenon of the mirage. In the desert, with the heat emanating from the ground, human bodies often cast shadows that ripple and appear like water, distorting the figures, making the viewer wonder about its original shape.Leandro seeks to portray these vases like figures and contours from far away, like people walking in the distance on a sunny day in the desert, like a blurry memory of a dream. The vases are made from a gradient of stoneware and red clay from Southern Vietnam mixed with different oxides and clays. At the age of 10, Leandro became in contact with clay with the ceramic artist Rufina Gonzalez on the Island of La Gomera (SP) where he used to spend the summers with his grandparents and cousins. Rufina Gonzalez is one of the two remaining women who still works with the traditional techniques of the "aborigines” of the Islands. This ancient technique is called “Alisado”, using one single stone to rub the surface of the vase in order to make it smooth. This results in a unique texture that resembles skin.The vases showcase a dialogue on skin palettes evolving from one shade to another, raising the question of the “criollo” culture, the mixed ethnicities in different forms that were influenced by the Spanish colonies when they conquered the Canary Islands.

Exploration of the landscape shapes and the negative space. Like volcano chambers, when the lava retiree and cools down, it leaves behind an empty space, often forming caves or containing underground water systems, connected to each ether. “I start building up the container from the negative space left behind, the skin of the vase will be colored with oxides pigments, using the rubbing technique to compres the particles, creating a smooth rich and waterproof skin surface.”- Leandro Marcelino. Leandro prepares the surface of the pieces with natural pigments and Oxides recreating skin alike texture, to stablish a discussion topic on skin colors and post colonization color shame. https://leandromarcelino.com/Curio-Frame-2025 Fri, 02 Oct 2026 08:05:04 +0000 Leandro Marcelino https://leandromarcelino.com/Curio-Frame-2025 <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f170d71e03329403a2a5a091517567b8c7a318b9afcb27fcf70f47579921dfd/DSC04456.JPG" data-mid="252842997" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f170d71e03329403a2a5a091517567b8c7a318b9afcb27fcf70f47579921dfd/DSC04456.JPG" /><img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b0841d1e69bd50d97a11792bfebdeba67cf2f4b0bc888427b67aa1d3bf2c52b5/DSC04810s-1.png" data-mid="252843002" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b0841d1e69bd50d97a11792bfebdeba67cf2f4b0bc888427b67aa1d3bf2c52b5/DSC04810s-1.png" /><img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d4d3008099c3c4caa7db1e646a756c72fc1cc741d56f8022858298902b6fa29/DSC04790s-1.png" data-mid="252843001" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2d4d3008099c3c4caa7db1e646a756c72fc1cc741d56f8022858298902b6fa29/DSC04790s-1.png" /><img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/85553e596fc305f1ad5192ceb3f88beb49d0834b52e2786023f40dc2eb023cce/DSC04760s-1.png" data-mid="252843000" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/85553e596fc305f1ad5192ceb3f88beb49d0834b52e2786023f40dc2eb023cce/DSC04760s-1.png" /><img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84224792372de48e025b554e3064f462edd85cf7bf0053511f3056a8493fdd31/DSC04774s-1.png" data-mid="252842999" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84224792372de48e025b554e3064f462edd85cf7bf0053511f3056a8493fdd31/DSC04774s-1.png" /> 3 Weeks of Design: The Culture of ObjectsJuly 5–26, 2025 | @gallery.mediumCurio Frame Curio Frame began with a quiet habit. Whenever I visit a new place, whether deep in nature or wandering city streets, I find myself picking up small, forgotten objects: a broken tile, a smooth stone, a handmade trinket. These pieces, humble as they are, hold a memory, a sense of place, a moment of stillness. This frame was born from the desire to give those objects a home. Made from a single sheet of metal, it folds easily by hand and mounts to the wall with minimal effort.But more than a hook or frame, it becomes a window, an invitation to reflect, to notice, to remember. It asks you to complete it. To step outside, gather something that speaks to you, and place it inside. Each time you do, the frame shifts, becoming a personal still life, a quiet portrait of your connection to the world.Curio Frame is a small gesture. A way to hold onto the intangible through the tangible.A reminder that meaning often lives in the simplest things we choose to keep. https://leandromarcelino.com/Lava-Formation Wed, 02 Aug 2023 07:11:16 +0000 Leandro Marcelino https://leandromarcelino.com/Lava-Formation <img width="1392" height="1900" width_o="1392" height_o="1900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/51186868b84c35458aad26b1cca48074cd851bc3f188644b94d8d726e3dfcd46/00001489000e.png" data-mid="190013388" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/51186868b84c35458aad26b1cca48074cd851bc3f188644b94d8d726e3dfcd46/00001489000e.png" /><img width="3533" height="4824" width_o="3533" height_o="4824" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/39ce035d58e7becbe46a61a7ef22bd4a4823ddebc2cca84a44a68a0858211b21/000014880003.JPG" data-mid="190013391" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/39ce035d58e7becbe46a61a7ef22bd4a4823ddebc2cca84a44a68a0858211b21/000014880003.JPG" /><img width="1392" height="1900" width_o="1392" height_o="1900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f4fbcab1f58e93c49d2ed210262951a40225c8e1c1e57bf3aaa4ca5cdf88d59/000014880005e.png" data-mid="190013390" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0f4fbcab1f58e93c49d2ed210262951a40225c8e1c1e57bf3aaa4ca5cdf88d59/000014880005e.png" /><img width="1900" height="2594" width_o="1900" height_o="2594" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c39790ea453e352a2709d2d1b04f0075dbb3f6f8c9878975aaa651eab57226d8/000014860013e.png" data-mid="190013389" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c39790ea453e352a2709d2d1b04f0075dbb3f6f8c9878975aaa651eab57226d8/000014860013e.png" /><img width="1900" height="1267" width_o="1900" height_o="1267" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c631a4e952363958104ee7516967873130baf6b37248e0ac72f1c9704fb85351/DSC04715s-1.png" data-mid="252811926" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c631a4e952363958104ee7516967873130baf6b37248e0ac72f1c9704fb85351/DSC04715s-1.png" /><img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4512194076c63a434337dbb713fff476a193c98b4a58cb18514488118a0d53db/DSC05346s.png" data-mid="252811934" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4512194076c63a434337dbb713fff476a193c98b4a58cb18514488118a0d53db/DSC05346s.png" /> -Permanently closed Gallery x 22 Gallery (2026) -Medium Gallery (2025) Lava Formartions (2025)Lava Formation is a series of ceramic works that explores the movement of volcanic lava as it cools and solidifies after a violent eruption. Each piece captures that suspended moment when raw, destructive energy slows into stillness, leaving behind flowing ridges, fractures, and textured surfaces that remember the heat that shaped them. The works are made from stoneware and mixed clays, and are enriched with volcanic ash from La Palma (2021). The ash ties the pieces directly to the landscape that inspired them. https://leandromarcelino.com/Resume Thu, 08 Jun 2023 03:01:03 +0000 Leandro Marcelino https://leandromarcelino.com/Resume <img width="1392" height="1900" width_o="1392" height_o="1900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e46f4301da50e29c4ecfe638a6545213fadb9f0e862d2e1ec957f7e3da28af35/000014840012ebw.png" data-mid="186526539" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e46f4301da50e29c4ecfe638a6545213fadb9f0e862d2e1ec957f7e3da28af35/000014840012ebw.png" /> Born in July 1987 in Canary Islands, Spain.Resides and works in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Specializing in ceramic sculpture, Marcelino is best known for his evocative works crafted from natural clays and materials, often displayed out of their conventional context or imbued with personal narratives tied to the land. His artistry navigates the intersection between societal inquiry and the intimate relationship individuals share with the landscape and nature. Marcelino's work is characterized by a profound exploration of questions pertaining to society and personal connections to the environment. Through his ceramic sculptures and installations, he invites viewers to contemplate themes of identity, belonging, and ecological consciousness. Noteworthy among his projects is the establishment of the first handmade ceramic store in 2015 in Ho Chi Minh City, “Hey Camel Ceramics”, an endeavor that underscores his commitment to fostering a vibrant artistic community and promoting the craft of ceramics within the region. His first solo exhibition, "Landscape Gradients” 2023, hosted at SEESON in HCMC, Vietnam, garnered acclaim for its innovative approach to ceramic sculpture and its thought-provoking exploration of the human connection to the natural world. Through his distinctive artistic vision and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of ceramic artistry, Marcelino continues to captivate audiences and provoke meaningful dialogue about the intersection of culture, environment, and human experience.
