MAURO PALLOTTA (MAUPAL)
Rome, 1972

Mother, 2018
Polish and spray on steel wool, 100 x 70 cm
He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome immediately revealing a very happy hand in drawing and a marked irony that shines through in the concepts of his creations.
After years of pictorial experimentation, he shows a keen interest in the sculptural potential inherent in steel wool, which he uses as a support for figurations in which at first sight sketched images recompose themselves with extreme realistic effectiveness in the observer's retina. Thus confirms an extreme versatility in modeling different subjects, caught in the most characteristic expressions of their nature.
He exhibits all over the world, mainly in London, Rome, Miami Florida and from 2014, since his first work on the street (SuperPope), diversifies his path both in the sphere of “fine art” and in that of “street art”, where he is universally recognized as one of the leading exponents after painting Pope Francis, Queen Elizabeth and Donald Trump.
