Biography
Mauro Falcioni was born in Matelica in 1978, and has always been passionate about visual arts and illustration. He trained in graphic design for the web without ever abandoning his true vocation: freehand drawing. His stylistic registers range from fantasy to more figurative representations, until he finds in the surrealist key the most effective solutions to express his view of the world. It is under this sign that his style matures over the years, transferring the marks of his pencils from paper to canvas and giving his works a recognizable grammar, made of recurring figures and scenarios steeped in meaning. His poetics: the dream and the moment lived take shape through memory as well as through the creative act which, through the language used, draws a distinction between the work and the subject. This gap ends up being the constitutive matter of the subject itself. The author renders this insurmountable yet essential discrepancy, using psychoanalytic references inherent in the Jungian tradition. The cat guides, inseparably linked to humans as a kite is to a child, because different images of the same self point to the concept of the Shadow, the darker part of us that we are forced to domesticate as we approach reality. Every other relationship is present as lack or as a hint aimed at formalizing it: delving into the self, the author compels us to confront loneliness-melancholy as the existential condition of man, his peculiarity of “falling out of the world.”
