Mauro Curti
Mauro Curti is an Italian documentary photographer currently living in Madrid, Spain.
Born in a small village in Piedmont, Bene Vagienna, province of Cuneo, Italy. Self-taught photographer. After several jobs in different sectors, he took a basic course in photography before leaving Italy for a cognitive and research trip focused on the practice of the use of the photographic medium traveling around a large part of Central and South America over several years.
He settled in Buenos Aires in 2015 where he deepened his photographic studies approaching analog photography. He returned to Europe in 2017 where he has lived the last time. At the end of 2019 he returned to his hometown and started working on the long time project Riturné, whereby he won a Scholarship for a Master in Artistic and Documentary photography at the University of Arts TAI, in Madrid.
Mauro has exhibited at the Círculo de Bellas Artes of Madrid (Spain) and will be exhibiting at BFOTO Festival (Spain) and at the Photometria International Photography (Greece) in 2022.
He has been selected in Discoveries PhotoEspaña 2022, in BFF Getxophoto (Spain) and shortlisted for the Athens Photo Festival (Greece) and the International Biennial of Photography Photolux (Italy).
Growing up in a small village in the north of Italy, close to the Alps, his peasant background and love for nature have been guiding his interests and his steps as a photographer towards themes linked to the rural landscape and all forms of life related to nature. He tries to blend the everyday and the ordinary in a creative process influenced by being outdoors and exploring his own environment, without any geopolitical boundaries.
