MARCO MAZZONI
available artwork / archive
Country of Origin: Italy
Photobucket

Italian artist Marco Mazzoni creates beautifully disturbing color pencil drawings, dreamlike snapshots of faces flooded in an incandescent light as if in an overexposed photograph, and encircled by sumptuous flora and fauna. This otherworldly quality is emphasized by the lack of eyes (or eyes that are closed or abnormally small) depicted versus the detail in all the other more realistically rendered aspects of the face. The mouth is often opened, as if gasping for air. It is unclear whether the gasp is in pain or in rapture, or both, as in popular depictions of catholic saints caught between worlds such as Teresa of Avila. However, the bounty of lush botanicals that frame each face add a more hypnotic, almost fae quality to each image.
