In his new collection, aptly titled Motherland, Raphael Mazzucco embarks on a personal journey that traces his roots back to the diverse landscapes of Canada. Inspired by the untamed wilderness of his native land, Mazzucco's latest artworks offer a glimpse into the soul of a country rich in natural splendour and untold stories.
The piece that inspired the collection title, ‘Motherland’ was photographed in Yoho National Park at the 1,224-foot-high Takkakaw Falls, which is the second highest waterfall in Canada. The serene image captures the grandiosity of the waterfall, framed by the mountains.
His new Motherland artworks are visually captivating and emotionally evocative pieces that beg further inspection. Interspersed throughout the collection are handwritten notes featuring the prose and poetry of Margaret Atwood, renowned Canadian novelist and poet. Atwood’s prose famously draws inspiration from the Canadian landscape, vividly describing the vast wilderness and rugged coastlines, capturing the essence of the country's natural beauty in her works. Her words encased throughout the layers of Mazzucco’s artwork embellish an intimate and arresting tribute to the raw and wild terrain of his homeland.
“You just feel the wild in such a deep way, and the energy around you is less human. When you're in the bush, it's more about the animals and the surroundings that you're in. I've never been to that part of Canada, where it's just so out in the wild, and you feel so vulnerable being there. You really have to have acknowledge being in a space like that, because I'm used to Africa, or New Mexico where it's very wide open and there is lots of light. This is the opposite, there is such dense forest and all the animals.”
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.”

Canadian-born artist Raphael Mazzucco's visual narrative captures the human form against a backdrop of startling landscapes that span the continents, from Icelandic glaciers to African wildlife and Vietnamese rice paddies. By layering paint, photography, and hand-lettered text, Raphael takes viewers on a documentary-style journey through geographic and emotional terrains.
His work layers photography with text and natural elements such as flowers and leaves, and Raphael’s pieces spring from lengthy expeditions where he lives and breathes his subjects. Raphael’s working life actually began as a footballer in Canada and England; something which he credits with giving him the drive to become successful in the next stage of his life. After being shot by iconic photographer Bruce Weber for a Calvin Klein campaign, Raphael developed an interest in the art form and left sport behind.
Raphael Mazzucco's new collection of original artwork, Motherland, draws from his own experiences and memories travelling deep into Northern British Columbia last August with his brother. From the lush forests of Yoho National Park to the jagged peaks of Mount Robson, each piece in this collection serves as a love letter to the diverse landscapes of Mazzucco’s native land.
