More About Federico Mazza

Question Icon What inspires you?

We aren’t conscious of how vague the vision of each little thing is, during this race where the time of silence has no space anymore. Maybe the art should go further shape and color.

Question Icon Describe your creative process.

For the Transit Series I produce numerous photographs of landscapes taken from a moving medium. When I decide to paint, I try not so much to reproduce them as to enter them. However, sometimes I rely on webcam images. For other series, such as Australia Summer 2019-2020, I look for photographic references on the web.
