Mauro is an artist and designer who has been living and working in England since 2010. He graduated in Architecture at the University College of London, where he stands out for his creative ability. She works with influential designers such as Ron Arad and Isaie Bloch, and teaches at several English universities. Through his university classes, he was introduced to new digital representation techniques, which he became so passionate about that he turned the computer into a tool for artistic expression. His art observes and explores the world around him, searching for old and new methods of creative expression. He is best known for his series of Micromegalic Inscriptions paintings, which have won several awards, including the Van Gogh International Prize awarded by José Van Roy-Dalí, son of Salvador Dalí. Matteo's works are the result of an analogue-digital combination that characterises the aesthetics of his creations. The main devices he uses are modelling software and low polygon sculpture with "digital clay". The micromegalic inscriptions are digital engravings that evolve the traditional carving technique.
Mauro tries to explore the world around him, investigating old and new methods of creative expression and using different digital representation techniques. His lines, arranged with a particular algorithm, create a fascinating light/shadow effect. It is no coincidence that the artist is well known in the NFT (Non Fungible Token) sector, where he is considered an innovator for the unmistakable animations that follow his style of Micromegalic Inscription painting.
His works have been exhibited all over the world, such as at the Datong Museum - China, at the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea at Palazzo Beneventano - Siracusa, MEAM Museu Europeu d'Art Modern - Barcelona, at the RA of Arts - London, Dubai Design District - Dubai, or at ArtLink Galleries - Seattle.
