The artist, often defined as multifaceted by critics, was a student of the Academy of Art in Venice at the time of the Lubiam Prize. This experience was the beginning of a studious path that involved both visual and musical fields. But the work presented here is emblematic of a young Mauro Sambo, still a painter, as he explores the invisible life, made up of minimal gestures and a nonchalance that is translated into the rarefaction of the figures portrayed on the canvas. His characteristic style is to create within the painting different areas in which the gestures of the characters overlap and mirror each other. The precise work of defining the hues and the equally subdued tones of color is only the beginning of his great accomplishments later in life.
