MORICONI MAURO

Mauro Moriconi was born in Lucca in 1980. After completing his studies at the liceo artistico in Lucca, he moved to Florence where he attended the Accademia di Belle Arti. From 2003 to 2004 he lived and worked in Lisbon, where he continued his academic studies and organised his first solo exhibition. Returning to Florence in 2004, he conducted an in-depth study of the work of the artist Mimmo Rotella, whom he met in his studio in Milan and from whom he learned the décollage technique, which he later used in his work for his degree thesis. Between 2004 and 2007 he exhibited his works made using the technique learned from Rotella at Ken’s Art Gallery in Florence. In 2007 Moriconi created his first photographic plate engraved on aluminium: this innovative technique marked an expressive turning point for the artist and became the key to the success that led him to collaborate with Catm Ny Gallery in New York and Soho Gallery in Beverly Hills in the USA.
In 2008 he received recognition from the Comune di Prato as the best emerging artist.n 2011 he began working with several national and international contemporary art galleries.  and in 2013 he was selected for the Milan Mia International Photography Fair, where his photographic series Le Cirque attracted the attention of the press. In 2015 he was selected by the Luigi Pecci Centre for Contemporary Art in Prato for the TU35 exhibition. In 2017 he participates again in the Milan Mia Fair with his series Un-familiar and its reinterpretation in Polaroid version. In 2017 FBML organised his first retrospective. In 2019 he is reported at the Affordable Art Fair in Milan for his original use of a mix of art and new technologies.
