Mauro De Giorgi is an international artist whose
works have been displayed in Italy (Venice Biennale), United Kingdom (London),
Japan (Tokyo) and now Singapore, where he currently resides.
Mauro has been always fascinated by Asian and Japanese aesthetics, and has
been painting since he was a child. He has also worked as a creative director
working for brands such as Michelin, L’Oreal, FIAT and Nestle’.
In 2010 he moved to London, where he also kept producing and displaying his
own artwork at various London galleries and across Europe (Italy, France).
In 2015 he was selected by the Benetton Art Foundation to exhibit at the
Venice Biennale.
One of his artworks has been published in Benetton Collection book
‘Preastigium’.
Later the same year he moved to Tokyo (Japan) in order to carry out and
extend his research into Japanese aesthetics and art, working with various
Japanese artists including well-known sumi master Shukou Tsuchiya, and
exhibiting across Tokyo.
One of his artworks was sold to international jazz singer Aki Yashiro.
Art Practice
Mauro’s practice of art is a constant attempt to achieve balance and
purity through a minimal yet creative approach which also includes ancient
techniques such as sumi (calligraphy ink), gyotaku (fish printing) and iwa
enogu (mineral pigments).
This new series is a representation of gods and mythical creatures, it
includes the use of elements from sacred geometry and is partly inspired by
Peranakan colour palette as seen in their traditional tiles.
