Maria Leonardi Pennisi was born in 1920 in Acireale; He has always shown aptitudes for the figurative arts.

He graduated from the "Ripetta" Art School in Rome and specialized in engraving by attending study of the master Nino Mustica and international courses of "Engraving Technique".

masonite, he masters the woodcut that recall the late nineteenth-century revival of this technique already dear to Durer.

The language used by Pennisi is inspired by Northern European expressionism; The subjects rigorously synthesize emotion and thought.

His works are present in several Italian museums including the Gibellina Modern Art Museum and the Villa Croce Museum in Genoa.
