Characterised by the juxtaposition between wildlife and cultural photography, this incredible piece forms part of his introspective collection Grass Roots 2023. Using locally sourced pigments and spices to enhance the monochromatic grasslands of The Maasari Mara, Raphael's internationally acclaimed photography takes on new life in these artworks with organic and indigenous tones and subjects.

Each Unique artwork has been individually embellished with irrepealable application in colours sympathetic to the image and reflective of the natural world. The result is a stunning artwork characteristic of an original piece with an extra level of dimension, encased in a beautiful resin finish. This type of artwork is perfect for those who want something individually finished and distinctive.

This piece is part of “Grass Roots”, still containing sepia and earthy tones but introducing a new colour palette to Mazzucco’s existing style. By embarking on immersive trips, Mazzucco is able to evoke the cultural beauty and the natural colours of the environments he is in, capturing moments in time and living landscapes. The mesmerising photography has come from Kenya in Africa and the Amazon Forest on the Rio Negro in Brazil.

Mazzucco’s visual narrative captures the human form against a backdrop of startling landscapes that span the continents, from Icelandic glaciers to African and Brazilian wildlife. By layering paint, photography, resin and hand-lettered text, the globally acclaimed photographer and sell-out artist  takes viewers on a documentary-style journey through geographic and emotional terrains. “Beauty layered with natural elements has always been my recipe. Nothing we create can compare to the perfect beauty of nature.”

This piece is a Hand Embellished Boxed Canvas Unique with Gloss Resin Finish.
