Mauro initially trained as a self-taught, later he started attending the
world of art. He befriends established artists from whom he finds new stimuli
which lead him to discover other techniques.
Basically he paints on canvas or linen paper with acrylics, ink and oil pastels
the latter mainly uses it to let himself go on the canvas, free as a waterfall.
In his initial phase the subjects of his works are mainly the eyes, he dedicates most of them
of the time to realize the look, which according to him must transport the observer.
Painting is a blind profession. One does not paint what one sees, but what one does
he feels, what he says to himself about what he has seen. In the second phase that begins after a contamination by Twombly and Basquiat he decides to stop painting the eyes and make the whole work like a soul that is at the bottom of the eye. It detaches itself from the figurative style to embrace the NeoExpressionism where it manages to express itself fully.
