Leandro is more than a carver of Crystal Skulls; he is an artist as well. His skills as a sculptor run the gamut of forms; from animal to aquatic to avian to human to reptilian up to and including abstract and free form sculpture. And his mediums run the full spectrum of stone species and subspecies. His renown and skills have been earned by over twenty five years of constant improvement and refinement of his works with his hands, his heart, and his mind.

In his own words:

"My interest in and appreciation of art began during my childhood. When I was a boy, my family was poor so, I began to make my own toys from wood and clay. Stones were already of interest to me and throughout my teenage years this interest grew daily."

"I am still fascinated by stones, but even more fascinated by the energy the stones give me and my sculptures. I do not choose what will become of a stone; the stone itself moves me to create the form that it wishes to exist in."

"I love art, stones, the people who work with me, and I love knowing that people truly appreciate the sculptures that have been created by my hands."

Leandro has recently begun a speaking career; his premier engagement was at the 2008 Angel Valley Crystal Skulls Conference in Sedona, AZ. He was very well accepted by both the audience and other speakers, and held his own quite well along other regulars on the circuit. In the course of the engagement Leandro was highly honored by Flordemayo, one of The Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, who presented him with prints of three paintings her son, an internationally renowned artist, was moved to create upon viewing one of his Crystal Skulls. Two of these paintings are on display in preeminent museums in America and Europe and the third is part of an eminent art collector's personal gallery.
