Mirco Marchelli Italy, b. 1963

Mirco is considered what the Spanish would call “a lost verse” of Arte Povera. Following the rich tradition of this Italian Movement, Mirco brings the colour, the joy, and the finesse that sometimes is lacking in Povera Art. Mirco is the joy of the south, even though he is a man of the north, his colours, his forms, and his geometrical combinations bring us closer to meditation, to the hedonistic pleasures that arise under the sun, than to the dark mists that accompany life in the north of Italy. Mirco Marchelli is a total artist: he is an artist of life, his passions embrace various media, and he excels in all of them. Mirco, is a quiet man, a man who understands that art and life require time, something that we can see in the slow evolution of his work. From his beginnings until today, Mirco follows a straight and personal style that only emphasizes the quality of his work through the years, the experience, and the conviction that his taste has been a winning bet.
