Mario Stefano was born in Naples in 1983, and from a young age he developed a natural inclination toward art, thanks to a family environment rich in creative stimuli. Self-taught, he dedicated his early years to experimenting with and studying drawing and painting techniques, pursuing his artistic passion alongside traditional education. His love for art accompanied him throughout adolescence, but it was during the lockdown brought on by the pandemic that Mario Stefano rediscovered his talent. Isolated from the world, he revisited old sketches and studies, devoting himself with fervor to exploring and refining a variety of painting techniques and mediums. This period proved crucial for his artistic growth, transforming his studio in Caserta—founded in 2020—into a space of intense creativity and reflection.

In 2021, his works caught the attention of a prominent expert in art and finance, a key figure in the international cultural landscape. This encounter marked a turning point for Mario Stefano, paving the way for his emergence as a professional artist. From that moment on, his artworks began to be showcased in major exhibitions and art fairs, attracting the attention of collectors and art critics. Mario Stefano continues to experiment with forms and colors, developing a unique style that blends tradition and innovation, reflecting a constant dialogue between past and present.
