About the artist

Vignando Mauro

Italy

Mauro Vignando, born in Pordenone, Italy (1969), now lives in Milan. His acclaimed Black Paintings series features large canvases in uniform black, where portions of the paint are deliberately removed—almost like acts of vandalism. These works, resembling mock walls that absorb light, capture a gesture of personal expression as Vignando impresses his autobiographical trace using his shoulder. The result is a dynamic tension between pure abstraction and a nod to figuration.

Vignando Mauro explores the impact of subtraction, questioning whether the absence of a subject can shape an image. His work examines loss—emotional or material—as a force that liberates the background, transforming it from mere scenery into a central, autonomous presence within the composition.
