Marco Mazzoni | marcomazzoni (Italy) - Ativan. Colored pencils on paper, 48x33 cm (2011)
The Italian artist Marco Mazzoni has created a magnificent series of female potraits, framed by butterfly wings, birds, hallucinogenic plants or delicate nature. “I started this work after reading “Malleus Maleficarum (Hammer of the Witches)”, a strange book first published by the church in the 15th century. In this book women are the worst thing in the world. Here in Italy we have a lot of stories about the “witches”. I want to pay tribute to these women and their knowledge of medical plants and animals.” Everything can be the source of inspiration for Marco: the hallucinogenic power of plants, the nature, the life and the illusions… You can find more works on his Tumblr and Facebook.
