My name is Luigi Mapelli (Mapo). I’ve attended the architecture school of Brera and then the Graphic Design School. I combine both my passions: photography and painting, and by walking along a difficult path, finally I can use art in a interdisciplinary way. In my works, real shapes in photo shoots acquire a dreamlike dimension through a clever use of oil and tempera painting. The careful study of photographic cut, the technique of amanuenses and the use of wide empty spaces; skies, snowed lands, and walls. The real protagonist of most part of my work, allows me to reach an armonic equilibrium of shape and colours. My painting is a compendium of disciplines practiced in the past.
