Renowned for his captivating imagery that seamlessly melds the raw beauty of nature with the ethereal allure of the human form, Mazzucco stands as a titan in the realms of both fashion photography and contemporary art.

For those unfamiliar with the name, a mere glimpse at Mazzucco's portfolio evokes a sense of déjà vu, as his iconic works have graced the pages of prestigious publications like Vogue, Marie Claire, and Vanity Fair. However, Mazzucco's talents extend far beyond the realm of fashion, as evidenced by his transition into the world of fine art.

Born from a lineage deeply rooted in artistic expression, Mazzucco's journey into the world of art was inevitable. The son of a landscape artist, his early influences are evident in his profound reverence for nature and his keen eye for capturing its intricate beauty. It's this seamless blend of familial heritage and personal passion that imbues Mazzucco's work with a sense of authenticity and depth rarely found in contemporary art.

Throughout his illustrious career, Mazzucco has traversed the globe, capturing the essence of diverse landscapes and cultures with an unparallelled clarity and precision. From the icy expanses of Iceland to the vibrant heart of the African wilderness, his lens has borne witness to the myriad of wonders of our planet, immortalising them in a symphony of colour and form.

Yet, it is with his latest collection, aptly titled Motherland, that Mazzucco embarks on a deeply personal journey - one that traces his roots back to the rugged 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.

Canada’s Unapologetic Wild Beauty

Raphael Mazzucco's new collection of original artwork 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.

It is not merely the physical beauty of Canada's wilderness that captivates Mazzucco, but rather the profound sense of connection and belonging that it evokes. In his own words, "Being in Canada… you just feel the wild in such a deep way, and the energy around you is less human”. It is this primal energy and raw sense of wilderness, that infuses every layer of resin in his latest creations.

Through his lens, Mazzucco invites us to embark on a journey of discovery, to immerse ourselves in the untamed beauty of Canada's wilderness, and to find solace in the knowledge that, no matter how far we may wander, our roots will always anchor us to the land we call home.
