About Stefano Mazzolini

30Exhibitions

Stefano Mazzolini was born in Parma in 1968. At the age of nine, he was nominated for the "Design and City" award organised by the municipality of Parma. In 1989, he graduated as a Master of Art in pictorial decoration from the Paolo Toschi Institute in Parma. He then dedicated several years to the restoration and conservation of wall paintings. In 1990, he lived in London before moving to New York for a short period.

Mazzolini expresses his graphic style in a gestural and immediate way. Dynamic lines create controlled drops of acrylic on paper, with stains directed without preliminary drawings or fixed projects, replacing the brush with ampoules and spatulas. Intriguing portraits, fairy-tale settings and mythological animals emerge from this controlled chaos. He also creates silhouettes of androgynous subjects, using paper collage to assemble layered faces that remain hidden and minimal.

About this artwork

This artwork presents a mesmerising still life composition with a surreal twist. At its centre, a collection of fruit, including a ripe pear, a sliced fig, and a cluster of yellow-orange flowers, sits atop a reflective pedestal. The fruits' glossy surfaces and rich colours exude vitality, contrasting with the muted, enigmatic background. Shadows cast by the fruit create dynamic movement across the draped, silky tablecloth below, adding depth and dimension. The soft lighting bathes the scene in an ethereal glow, emphasising the delicate textures and intricate details of each element. This piece uniquely blends realism with dreamlike qualities, inviting viewers to explore its mysterious ambience and appreciate the artistry in its subtle distortions and vivid colours.
