About
I believe that the work of an artist betrays his desire to make use of imagination to recreate the world in which we all live. I also believe that without a vision and the urgency to express it there is no great art. Now it seems to me that my works hint at a desire to recreate a world where everything, every person as well as every situation, could perfectly fall in the realm either of reality or unreality. How to achieve a sort of pleasant harmony out of this dualism is one of the greatest challenge of my work. No need to say that in the field of visual art the main concerns are about colour, space, proportion, volume etc., but a good amount of irony and intellectual considerations need also to be taken on account. Not surprisingly once the works are finished it is difficult even for me to penetrate them or to explain their exact meaning. To be honest I am always happy with the result of my work when a new sense of mystery has managed to displace all the previous certainty.

Mario’s work will feature in the 2010 Annual of Italian Illustrators.
The people in Mario Sughi's vivid illustrations seem to be living a technicolour, minimalist lifestyle. Evocative at times of David Hockney's work, these are images of consuming couples, sporty young people and languid moments. The leisure class is under Sughi's microscope and gets served back up to us in many different flavours. Sughi's style is saucy and leaves an undercurrent of mystery in the seemingly simple narrative under all those layers of colour." (by MoCo Loco Art Magazine,
