Matteo Mauro recently appeared in a TRIA Studio Visit podcast with Alberto Amato, discussing the background and concepts behind the artist’s Inscription Series along with sharing insights from his creative journey, artistic philosophy, and innovative techniques.

Reflecting on his path, Matteo described his process as “very gradual” and revealed the pivotal moment when he saw his works come to life, prompting him to found Matteo Mauro Studio in 2017. His practice bridges traditional artistry and cutting-edge technology, reshaping classical techniques with contemporary tools like algorithms and digital commands.

One of the most compelling aspects of the interview was Mauro’s discussion on the philosophy behind Raw Inscriptions, “It’s about reducing to the essence of what art can be, moving beyond superficial beauty to something deeply conceptual.” This depicts the mindset and direction Mauro is steering the direction of studio in, he also delved into the inspiration behind Micromegalic Inscriptions, rooted in Voltaire’s Micromegas. This series juxtaposes intricate details with grand compositions, exploring the relationship between the micro and macro scales in art.

The conversation further highlighted Mauro’s embrace of technology as a way to push the boundaries of materiality in art. For him, dematerializing art elevates it to a realm of pure thought, bridging tradition and innovation in a unique and provocative way.

As Matteo Mauro looks toward the future, he remains committed to evolving his practice, staying true to the philosophical and technological foundations of his work while exploring new avenues for artistic expression.
