Marco Mazzoni
Marco Mazzoni’s work revolves around an eclectic mix of mystical Italian folklore, medicinal flora, symbolic fauna and delicate femininity that end up creating a set of women who seduce, bewitch, curse and cure.
His work is an homage to the hidden craft and history of healing women and every drawing is infused with metaphors that tell their story. From flora and foliage that is either curative or hypnotic, butterflies and birds that drink the energizing and nourishing nectar to the circular compositions alluding to the cyclical nature of life and finally the semi-hidden, faces hinting at the enforced obscurity of women, obliged by prevailing religious beliefs to conceal their knowledge, power and practice.
