Mario Minarini’s artwork is immersed in the Florentine tradition of painting.He began his artistic formation in the art of goldsmithery at the Florence Institute of Art where he graduated in 1989. The goldsmith’s eye for detail that we find in Minarini’s landscapes and still life compositions extends into his play with light, darkness, and reflection. Minarini studied oil painting and figurative nude drawing techniques at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, with Sandra Batoni and Alessandro Berti, and perfected his techniques while frequenting the G.Mazzon group with the late Osvaldo Curandai.

In 2008 he was awarded the “Fiorino d’Argento”, a prestigious award given by the Florence City Hall, for his work “Mannequin Man”. Minarini holds personal exhibitions in some of the most important museums and cultural venues in Italy, England and Mexico, not to mention his works can also be found in private collections around the globe.
