His work shows a wide range of influences, including sources as diverse as the Renaissance, Nineteenth Century academic work, and contemporary society.

Umberto Mazzone, 1941

Umberto Mazzone, pittore italiano, è nato a Catania. Attualmente vive e opera a Bevagna (PG), proseguendo un lungo percorso artistico, iniziato a soli dieci anni.

Proprio a quell’età, stimolato dalla sua insegnante di disegno, si accosta al variegato mondo dell’arte, che cattura la sua giovane fantasia, consentendogli di scoprire le sue possibilità fantastiche e umane, attraverso segni ed i colori.

Da allora segue una ricerca artistica, lievitata dagli studi classici e soprattutto dal mondo greco e orientale, che lo porterà a sperimentazioni sempre nuove, legate ai valori di quelle civiltà che ci hanno segnato sia come popoli, che come individui.
