With Moroccan pigments and Vietnamese paints, Mazzucco’s pieces are characterised by the juxtaposition between wildlife and cultural photography, this incredible piece forms part of his introspective collection Grass Roots 2023. The original bright colours occurred very naturally with the turquoise blues and purples, which was different from monochromatic feel from previous collections. The Brazilian woman featured in the piece, named Paula, represents the celebration of humanity and life, and how one lives in their environment. The rich bright colours of red, orange and blue bring life into the art, representing the vibrant Brazilian culture and telling a story through layers of photography, paint, and resin. Inspired in the Amazonian culture, this original is full of brightness, life, light and colour with an exotic tribal feel.

This collection is part of “Grass Roots”, still containing sepia and earthy tones but introducing a new colour palette to Mazzucco’s existing style. The extension of colours is referent to the vibrant colourful pieces with the Amazon scenes, introducing a new exotic colour palette as opposed to the beauty of Africa in sepia tones. By embarking on immersive trips, Mazzucco is able to evoke the cultural beauty and the natural colours of the environments he is in, capturing moments in time and living landscapes. The mesmerising photography has come from Kenya in Africa and the Amazon Forest on the Rio Negro in Brazil. The sell-out artist and international photographer, is creatively spontaneous and while everything is experimental, it’s also very controlled as to never sacrifice the beauty and composition of the image.

Mazzucco’s visual narrative captures the human form against a backdrop of startling landscapes that span the continents, from Icelandic glaciers to African and Brazilian wildlife. By layering paint, photography, resin and hand-lettered text, the globally acclaimed photographer and sell-out artist takes viewers on a documentary-style journey through geographic and emotional terrains. “Beauty layered with natural elements has always been my recipe. Nothing we create can compare to the perfect beauty of nature.”
