"la fontana" Painting

Self-taught painter using oil and acrylic techniques Artistic Biography ‒ Mauro Benvenuto Mauro Benvenuto is a self-taught artist who lives and works in Scala Coeli, Calabria, Italy. For years, he has explored the expressive possibilities of acrylic painting on canvas, using palette knife and brush to translate deep emotions into visual form. His works emerge from the encounter between gesture and intuition: intense colors, textured layers, and spontaneous movements merge into a language that oscillates between abstraction and inner landscape. Through the palette knife, he creates vibrant surfaces where matter becomes a vehicle for a personal exploration of silence, freedom, and emotion. For Mauro Benvenuto, color does not merely represent reality ‒ it reinvents it. Each canvas is a place of stillness and tension, where the viewer is invited to pause, breathe, and rediscover a fragment of themselves. Over the years, he has participated in several group and solo exhibitions, building a coherent and recognizable artistic path. His research continues to evolve, guided by instinct and the desire to express what cannot be said in words.
