Matteo Mauro’s artworks continue to resonate across the international art world, highlighted most recently by Monica Camozzi at Art & Glamour magazine through an in depth feature on the artist, titled “Archaic and Digital: Art from the Cave to the Code”, which explores how his artistic language travels from the earliest forms of human expression to the most advanced technological codes of today.

The article underlines a central theme in Mauro’s process, focusing on his encounter between classical craftsmanship and digital experimentation. The Bronze on Canvas series reflects this duality, transforming traditional techniques into something enriched by the aesthetics of computation. As Art & Glamour describes, “Matteo does not forget the more traditional media of art history, such as the use of canvas, oil and bronze, but rather expands the territory of action and thought.” This aspect of expanding thought revolves around every series, celebrated in his Micromegalic Inscriptions; they embody this connection between past and present. These works take inspiration from ornamentation and baroque dynamism but, through Mauro’s contemporary language, become new inscriptions. Bridging the symbolic gestures of ancient cave markings with the fluid possibilities of modern computation shows how unique the fusion is between Mauro’s vision and contemporary digital art.

Along with the article tracing back through Mauro’s international background from his formative years in London to his current base in Milan, where his studio thrives today, creating bold new artworks like the Bronze on Canvas series. Described by Art & Glamour, this series is “a bold synthesis of painting and sculpture. Cast bronze on canvas becomes a language, a radical gesture.” Capturing the essence of Matteo Mauro’s vision through art that transforms the dualities of tradition and technology into harmony. From bronze reliefs to algorithms and NFTs, his practice explores how humanity’s earliest artistic impulses, carving, engraving, inscribing, still live within the codes and tools of our digital age. In doing so, Mauro not only honours the past but also shapes the future of contemporary art.
