Mascia
was born in St. Croce de Magliano, where he currently lives and works. He
is an architect as well as an artist. In 1996 he enrolled in the Architectures
Department of the University of Rome, where he also continued studies in
art. He analyzed works by Magritte, Duchamp, and Kosuth. He became convinced
that art is above all a mental fact; Mascia never painted in the traditional
sense.
He developed a great love for the Constructivist and Neoplastic vanguard, and in 1986 composed his first concretist works. In 1987 he had a personal exposition in the Communal Gallery of Campobasso.
He began showing with Anna Canalis Arte Structura Gallery in 1992, and in 1996 joined MADI Italia.
Mascias ties to Suprematism and constructivism are obvious. The fundamental principles by which he works are synthesis, plan, color, composition, and equilibrium.
