NICOLÁS MASTRACCHIO
ARTIST STATEMENT
Nicolás Mastracchio recovers a remarkable tradition whose effects on the art world are the appropriation, as a sensory experience of art, of the philosophies of well-being.
Visual aesthetic functions as a vehicle for the awakening of consciousness.
This approach, which made a fascinating transnational journey in the 1960s, reborn in the 1980s, reached a contemporaneity full of new meanings in his work.
