Main Brief History/
Mazzi Francesco founded MAZZI Corporation in January 2020 and launched the fine arts brand "MAZZI FINE ART".He is a pioneering artist and entrepreneur known for his unique patent,a framing technique called the "3D FRAME PUSH-UP,"which displays the canvas outside the frame.This method enhances the three-dimensionality and presence of the artwork, creating a harmonious blend with the surrounding space. In February 2020,Mazzi's Tokyo exhibition sold out,marking the beginning of his international success.He has been interviewed by numerous media outlets and art critics Worldwide.In February 2021, the MAZZI Corporation production studio and office,known as "MAZZI FINE ART GALLERY," relocated to a new venue near Osaka Bay and Kansai International Airport. The space was renovated with a Japanese-style internal garden, serving as the creative hub for Mazzi to create artworks and frames, as well as oversee photo and video production. In collaboration with Italian art critics,the Municipality of Florence, and the Italian Association UNESCO,Mazzi initiated the special exhibition "FRANCESCO MAZZI: JAPANESE BEAUTY" in 2022 and 2023.This trilogy of traveling exhibitions showcased Mazzi's innovative art production process, which involves using rare materials like pure gold and silver with oil paint on bas-reliefs made from Carrara marble powder. UNESCO awarded Mazzi two medals for his exceptional quality and originality.Mazzi's artistic talent has been praised by renowned art critic Vittorio Sgarbi,who described him as a "goldsmith of painting" and a "miniaturist of matter and color."His luxury artworks have been featured in special exhibitions alongside famous brands,department stores,japanese temples,and international fairs.By blending Western and Eastern cultures,Mazzi aims to foster peace and deep respect through his work.He continually explores new ideas and maintains an eclectic vision.
In May 2023, Mazzi concluded his Italian tour with a special exhibition in Assisi, where he received the Lifetime Achievement Trophy for his exceptional innovation and artistic research.The mayor of Assisi also presented him with a diploma acknowledging his success in bridging the gap between the West and the East.Mazzi's minimalist and elegant artworks convey a powerful message, evoking the aesthetic dimension and ancient memories.His work highlights what society has forgotten and lost,emphasizing the immense human legacy tied to ancient wisdom and technology.

“Be inspired by myths and legends to create objects with their own memory and strength”
`` Art enriches life and its ultimate function is to make people happier. ''
They say about me…….

"Mazzi's art is pure observation of Nature, in the miracle of shapes and colors of which it is generously rich"
Giancarlo Bonomo,art critic and curator
The unveiling of the symbol
"Mazzi is firmly attracted by the pure beauty that emerges whenever he refers to the aesthetic canons of antiquity, especially in Europe"
Raffaella Ferrari,art critic and curator
