Avati attended the National School of Fine Arts in Paris and became interested in etching and aquatint, from 1957 onwards he turned towards the more difficult technique known as the “Black Way” which he helped to revive. His great mastery is expressed above all in his remarkable still lifes, everyday objects: fruits, eggs, flowers, animals, musical instruments, in perfect harmony, objects with firm contours, in the brightness of their own light or in a mysterious chiaroscuro. The international fame of Mario Avati is confirmed by more than 30 one-man & group exhibitions in Europe, the United States & Japan. There have been 5 short films created on his artwork, as well as illustrations from books including Baudelaire, Lewis Carroll and the Bible.
