Stefano Mazzolini was born in Parma in 1968. In 1989 he graduated from the Master of Art in pictorial decoration at the Paolo Toschi Institute in Parma. He begins to create silhouettes of androgynous subjects, with paper collages he assembles and glues layers of faces that are always occult and minimal. With mixed acrylic colors and enamels he obtains like fabrics, colored leathers that he applies on canvas, wrapping the work inside himself, metal grafts, application of various elements. By cutting the canvas and overlapping it, he constructs the painting into sculpture. He manipulates the fabric of the painting bringing the image to three-dimensionality. While on the canvas he expresses transparencies but precise to represent objects, people. Cities, landscapes between nature and animals, convulsive scenarios of neo-modern plans and perspectives. With the sculpture he strengthens his artistic identity of him. An exclusive invention of sculpture in Lycra resin, treated and consolidated synthetic fabric, human and alien figures, always suspended between the sacred and the profane, draperies to form characters of the past and revisited in a modern key. Last but not least, he intervenes with computer science in the manner of cryptoart, processes videos and images of fictional characters in a vectorial way, through digital printing and with some also executed in oil, proposes his own art revisited in the NFT protocols, operating on several fronts, fully expressing eclecticism.
