“Mastros”, a Sardinian term meaning “Masters” in Italian, is a series produced in 2021 that aims to pay tribute to five great Sardinian painters of the 20th century by reinterpreting as many extraordinary works of the masters Delitala, Floris, Ciusa Romagna, Biasi, and Figari.

“Mastros” is an intimate celebration of artists who, through their work, have written indelible pages in the history of Sardinian art, deserving full recognition from national and international critics.

“Mastros” is an acknowledgment of a Sassari that in the 20th century was like a beacon illuminating a new artistic path. It aims to refocus attention on an artistic period that is very likely unrepeatable. Not everyone knows that Sassari, at the beginning of the 20th century, was a wonderful concentration of artists with extraordinary talent.

“Mastros” is ultimately a personal dialogue with those same artists who, through their works, have been a source of study and learning in the management of lights, shadows, values, colors, glazes, and lines. “Mastros” is my thank you.
