A versatile and volcanic visual artist, Mario Trapani expresses in his painting and sculpture a deep, visceral bond with his native land, Sicily.

His abstract works, made with mixed media and acrylics on canvas or on contemporary supports such as plexiglass, draw direct inspiration from the primal force of nature, the Mediterranean light and the chromatic power of Etna's eruptions. Through a bold, vibrant use of colour, Trapani translates geological matter and the Sicilian landscape into abstract visions charged with dynamic and emotional energy.
