 Mauro |
After a period as a leather craftsman, Mauro found his true love in metal working, including gold, silver, and precious minerals. Melting, laminating, embossing, and chiseling metals gave reign to his full expressive powers. Using the traditional hand instruments and manual machinery, he produces highly elaborated works that replicate in metal the synthetic forms of nature. He carefully conserves his raw materials, using the trimmings to fashion decorative highlights to pieces. His unique objects have drawn admiration at fairs and markets throughout Italy.
