Matteo Mauro observes and explores the world with the eyes of an artist. He seeks new solutions and embraces old ones in his infinite mediation between reality and dreams. His artistic process mixes analogue and digital tools to generate artworks with a distinctly contemporary sensibility, which critics have deemed hyper-contemporary. Matteo Mauro's studio creates a wide range of artworks, including sculptures, paintings, video art, installations and augmented reality pieces.
The artist was born in Sicily, but has lived and travelled in many countries. He spent more than a decade in London, where he first established his artistic practice and continues to live today. Mauro has worked and studied with several influential designers, including Ron Arad and Isaie Bloch, and has taught Digital Communication at London's LSBU and UCL universities.
Mauro has received numerous awards for his work, including the Master of Art 2018 and the European Excellence of Arts and International Van Gogh Prize, awarded by Roy Dalí, son of Salvador Dalí.
His pieces have been exhibited in several museums and galleries, including the Royal Academy of Arts, the Museo Marte, the Museo della Fabbrica, Le Salon des Indépendants at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Ing-Creatives in Dubai, the Songyang Museum Contemporary Art, the Fondazione Museo Crocetti, while some exhibitions are scheduled at the Datong Art Museum and the MACAM Modern and Contemporary Art Museum in the near future.
However, Matteo Mauro does not limit himself to painting or creating artworks, but is also the author of the globally distributed book Inscripciones Micromegálicas (Micromegalic Inscriptions). Matteo Mauro's studio is currently located in Catania, Italy.
