Mario Pellegrini was born in 1956; when he turned 50, he discovered drawing and its great ex- pressive power, conjugated with his innate irony that shines through, par- ticularly when he sketches to wax with an effective marking synthesis. We can say that Mr. Pellegrini artworks should be more read than lo oked at.
When one affectionate collector asked him: “what do you love drawing?” Mr. Pellegrini answered: “I love to draw what remains on the sheet”.
