Leonid Batalov is an architect and artist. He designs cultural and commercial spaces and creates installations and collectible objects.

His approach is guided by the principle of total design. He begins by imagining how a space will feel and how people will move through it, then brings its layout, materials and objects together around that experience.

Batalov has worked independently since 2022. His projects and objects have been shown at Blazar in Moscow, Collectible in Brussels, TEMA in Paris and NOMAD in Abu Dhabi.
