“ITALIAN BORN MAURIZIO MARTINOLI, OR “MAMO” AS HE IS CALLED BY HIS FRIENDS,
IS A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST WHO STRIVES TO CAPTURE THE INNER BEAUTY AND
EXPLORE THE SURREAL SPLENDORS OF PEOPLE.

HIS CREATIVITY IS DRAWN FROM A DEEPLY EMPATHETIC, VISUAL AND
OBSERVANT PERSONALITY. “MAMO” USES A COMBINATION OF HIS
DRAWINGS AND CREATIVE LENS USAGE, TO CAPTURE THAT
UNIQUE QUALITY THAT EMANATES FROM HIS SUBJECTS.

HE WOULD LIKE HIS SUBJECTS TO TAKE YOU BEYOND “FIRST IMPRESSION”
AND INSTEAD TAKE YOU FURTHER THAN THEIR INITIAL SURFACE,
BEYOND RACE, SEX AND ANY PRECONCEIVED IDEA: TO DISCOVER
THEIR MYSTERY, DEPTH AND INNER WONDERS.

BEING EXTREMELY PERCEPTIVE OF PEOPLE AND THEIR ENERGIES,
MAMO’S WORK EXPRESSES HIS VISION OF HIS SUBJECTS
TO ALSO REVEAL WHAT LIES UNDERNEATH.

HE CREATES IMAGERY OUT OF THE OVERWHELMING SENSORY INPUT HE
EXPERIENCES FROM JUST OBSERVING PEOPLE, THUS REMOVING THE MASK
FROM HIS SUBJECTS TO REVEAL WHO THEY ARE AS PURE ENERGY AND FEELING.”
