Mario Malfer

Mario Malfer captures the poetry of the northern Italian and Tuscan landscapes on canvas. He energizes his landscapes by allowing the viewer to sense other perspectives and scenes through the surface. His paintings hold secrets that invite endless discoveries, secrets that give them a unique aura.

In front of the paintings, the viewer embarks on a journey through time. One feels as if they are uncovering traces of historically past cultures, remnants that reach back to prehistoric times. For him, the landscape is not only what it is but also what it was, a memory or an imagination. It seems as though the artist wants to point to the temporality of all existence through these objects hidden in the earth.

Mario Malfer transcends the sensory certainty of the reality perceived in the moment with his representation. In this way, the artist reveals to us that every perceived impression is always ambiguous and overlaps with other images from memory, allowing us to extend our perception far beyond the point of the moment.

Thus, we are able to connect the individual forms into a symphony.

This successful synthesis between abstract imagery and concrete landscape, merged into a polyphony of the material and immaterial, of strength and poetry, which manifests in intoxicating, sensually virtuosic compositions, makes each encounter with Mario Malfer's art a new experience.
