Fernando Leal Audirac (Mexico City, 1958) is an Italian painter, sculptor, and designer. He is a specialist of classical painterly techniques, such as fresco, encaustic, egg tempera, oil, that he reinterprets in a contemporary key.

His father Fernando Leal (1896-1964) was one of the founders of Mexican Muralism and his mother Francine Audirac (1928 -1974) was also a painter.

Leal Audirac has participated twice in the Venice Biennale, the first one in the Centennial in 1995 and the second one in 2001. He has shown his works in galleries and museums in the US, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Hungary, Rumania, Korea and South America.

He has also participated as lecturer and academic tutor for several institutions in the Americas and in Europe. From 1996 to 1998 he was Visiting Professor at École nationale supérieure d'art in Nancy. He has written numerous essays on art and literature and participated in several international symposiums regarding art, science and environment organized by the European Environmental Tribunal.

Leal Audirac has developed a particular type of transportable frescoes on double-curved synthetic supports which constitute a fragment of an imaginary architectural space. In this technique he has executed in 2004 the life "Portrait of Pope John Paul II" which is 10 m long.

Various international critics and intellectuals have written extensively on his work, such as Pierre Restany, Richard Brettell, Fernando Savater, Juan Acha, Jorge Juanes, Ernesto de la Peña, Alberto Híjar, Martina Corgnati, Lorealla Giudici, Marc Dachy, Enrico Mascelloni, Gianluca Marziani.

He lives and works in Milan.[1]
