Filippo Mazza was born in Milan in 1994. After graduating in Interior Design and Scenography in 2017 from the European Institute of Design, his interest in artistic practice developed, spending the following six years working at Fonderia Battaglia, where he delved into the lost-wax casting process in all its aspects.

Over the years Mazza has collaborated and interacted with various artistic collectives that, together with his experience in the foundry, stimulated him to develop and deepen his artistic vision.

Filippo Mazza’s research is rooted within a conceptual dimension, where objects, body, sound and emptiness become tools to interrogate human perceptions and emotions. The urgency to explore the limits of sensitive experience and meaning - pushing the spectator to confront the invisible, the marginal, the silent - constitutes the heart of his practice.

C’era una mosca is his first solo exhibition presented in an art gallery. The artworks are never mere objects, they are spaces of relation, inquiry, and discovery, where the observer assumes a participatory and active role in the development of the work itself.
