Bemerkung:
Widmung des Künstlers a. Titelbl.- The Italian Artist Mauro Bergonzoli was born in Milan on December 24th, 1965. In his fathers engraving studio he learned the craft of precision and draftsmanship as a young boy. At the age of 14, his teacher discovered his extraordinary artistic talent. Soon he was sent to art school and began selling his comics and artwork. Bergonzoli was quickly recruited by advertising agencies in Milan. A 25-year long career as creative director in commercial and animation films for companies like Ferrero and Geox followed. Bergonzoli finally broke free in 2000 to dedicate himself exclusively to the creation of his original artwork. Successful exhibitions followed in galleries, fairs and museums in cities such as Portofino, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Hong Kong, Milan, St. Moritz, Miami, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin, Bologna, Ravenna, Augsburg and Venezia. Bergonzoli paintings tell stories of love and celebrate the beauty of life. His style is both playful and sophisticated, contemporary and “oldschool”. The artist creates works bursting with good vibrations and hand-paints every canvas solely by himself, with no Atelier assistants. He lives and works in his „Bavarian Giverny“- the Country Atelier outside Munich where he receives art collectors from around the globe.
