Artist Statement
By photography, observing and documenting the reality around him, Mauro Montanaro manages to describe the contemporary world showing it as something pure and uncontaminated, rounding off in this way the inaccessible trait of his personality, shared between rationality and intuition of the time to get between magic and fable.For sure he is a pragmatic, but he is always looking for a spirituality that he can find outside him, in the shading reproposed in a flower, a butterfly, in somatic traits of people, in the silence of the snow or in an enchanted village, scenary that lives outside the time, paintings paint by an artist, eternity of natural aspects that he calls "oasis of colour and fantasy" himself.
Each image, also the one that could seem the most conventional, it is caught in a particular contemplative condition by the artist, ravished more and more by the enchantment, the pureness, the astonishment sometimes primitive and spontaneous in front of the world still to discover in its apparent semplicity.
"I cut out my land, I discover it and I learn to know it through the people, the custom and use, the tradition and much more through the change for the epoches and seasons"; better, he vivisections it, that means he withdraws it with careful composition, without depriving it of the life's breath: his images live, his essential lines, he prefers, they hurl between the land and the infinity, looking for a real and uncontaminated dimention, where the uniqueness of the man can find his being reason.
