About Stefano Mazzolini

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 surreal figure enveloped in an ethereal, dark ambience. The central figure's elongated, distorted form draws attention with a strikingly elongated head and distorted limbs, blending humanity with otherworldliness. The dim, earthy palette with glowing highlights adds an eerie, mysterious atmosphere, enhancing the dreamlike quality. The figure's expression evokes a haunting introspection, amplified by the subtle play of shadows and light that contours the figure's form, casting an enigmatic aura. The use of chiaroscuro accentuates the dramatic contrast, lending depth to the composition. The smooth blending of colours and abstract forms invokes a sense of movement, creating a dynamic interaction between the viewer and the artwork. This piece challenges perception, inviting contemplation of the melding between human emotion and the surreal, positioning itself uniquely within the realm of contemporary art.
