Giacomo Mazzari (born March 25, 1941) is a contemporary painter known for his atmospheric landscape and still-life oil paintings that celebrate the color and beauty of the natural world. Born in Aggazzano, he studied architecture and graduated from the prestigious Politecno di Milano.

He turned to painting during Italy’s Years of Lead, as a way to pass the time during immense political and economic turmoil of the late sixties. His pre-existing skill as a draftsman served him well as he emulated masterworks of famous impressionists and the Macchiaioli (a group of 19th-century Italian Plein-air painters who used large ‘patches’ of light and shadow in their painting composition). As he learned, he slowly evolved his own personal artistic style that feels both atmospheric and immediate.

“Observation of the natural connotations of breath, light and rhythm of things stimulates me to search for the beauty contained in them and becomes the spark to transfer them on the canvas.” - Giacomo Mazzari
