Thomas Mazzarella (born 1983) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. With his pink and green hues, his windowsill views, flower vases and shelves, interiors looking outwards, hills and clouds in the distance, Thomas Mazzarella likes to paint moments of solitude. If everything seems frozen and immobile, time nonetheless flows by. A time of quietude, meditation and quest. Instead of jumping to conclusions, the artist seeks to linger - not so much as an escape, but simply to exist. His work is an ode to flânerie.
Thomas Mazzarella feeds on his readings and arms himself with the references that matter to him, returning again and again to his very personal atmospheres. It is a discreet melody where flower stems and grass shoots sway in the wind. The breeze rustles the curtains, pushes the clouds away. A figure sometimes glides from left to right, only to be seen from behind or in profile. It is in this movement, in this slow becoming, that lies the artist's true signature, inviting us to inhabit this time for ourselves.
