“Mazzi is a goldsmith of painting, a miniaturist of matter and color with a great technical sensitivity and
formal, an archaic type of craftsman-artist embossed, as in a bizarre game of fate, in the contemporary era. His works, treated down to the smallest detail with rare materials, precious woods, pigments, precious metals, leaves made of gold, pastes and colors made by hand, are meticulously decorated and finished like mysterious devotional objects:precious and rare caskets of only apparently anachronistic beauty, the art objects of this monk of painting appear today as capsules of the past which, in the happy incongruity of a beauty found miracle totally intact in the century of the denial of all canon, returns to seduce with the grace of a search that seems
stubbornly wanting to challenge the passage of time, trends, fashions. "
