Mariano Ferrante is one of the most dynamic and innovative young successors of a long tradition of geometric abstract masters from South America. This important milestone is well deserved and reflects the artist practice. In his works, Mariano invites us to face an optimistic whilst imperfect future, where science continues to bring progress, but where human sensibility and imperfection make it vibrant.
We look forward to see his progress and are excited about his continuous success!
