Mauro Di Giorgio is an architect and graphic design professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo.
His graphic artwork presents two overlapping levels that, rather than merging, interact on a semantic and aesthetic level. Mauro's artwork is characterized by two singular and complementary elements of his vision: the background reveals the prismatic brightness of the watercolours while the surface is invested with the incisive strength of the black graphic sign. The absence of depth in the canvass is compensated by a modulation of colours that remind one of infinite spaces.
The dialog between the abstract and the figurative is drawn from a lyrical inspiration, a visual journey of the mind as an instrument of discovery and disillusion.
The worlds created by the artist tie together a dreamt perception of reality and an urban atmosphere where houses, cars, objects and people become a visual motif that leads the viewer into a novel realm.
