A researcher of innovative techniques and personal operational paths, Mario Giovanni Urbano translates thought and analysis into vigorous and original forms of expression. Making art does not consist for the author in a mere representation of real forms, but in his own original and highly personal interpretation expressed in dynamic forms and powerful and vital colors. His passionate and vigorous ossevation of the world and man is the substance of his formal research. It transcends the blandishments of visual appearance, but elaborates them by restoring the deep sense of the dynamics of the existence of men and things in their interactions. His work appears to be guided, borrowing the expression of philosopher Blaise Pascal, by a rigorous “ésprit de geometrie” , with all the rigor that the analysis of reality entails, with a passionate and visionary “ ésprit de finesse,” through the skillful and vital search for a refined use of color of harmony and eloquence of forms.
