Mario Loprete is a graduate of Accademia of Belle Arti, Catanzaro, Italy. Painting is his first love. Creating a painting, starting from the spasmodic research of a concept with which he aims to transmit his message as the foundation of his paintings. For his concrete sculptures, he uses personal clothing. Through his artistic process, he uses plaster, resin and cement to transform these articles of clothing into artworks to hang. The intended effect is his DNA and memory remain inside the concrete, so those who look at his sculptures are transformed into postmodern archeologists studying his work as urban artifacts.
