Fabrizio Saracino

Born in 1964 in Neuilly-Sur-Seine, Fabrizio Saracino was introduced to art at a young age by his father, the latter very connected to the art world and himself an amateur photographer. After studying visual arts and rubbing shoulders with the Parisian punk scene, Fabrizio Saracino joined a higher education school in advertising and marketing. Then, for twenty-five years, he refined his knowledge of strategy and concept as a copywriter for major Parisian advertising agencies. At present, he puts his sensitivity and his critical observation of the current world at the service of his work as an artist. Prowled indeed to the mastery of the word, of the phrase that catches; the one that remains: the slogan that arouses emotion, he now offers with "Carved in marble" a citizen observer's gaze less critical than witness. Witness of his time, spectator of the political theater and the verbal flashes of his multiple characters over the decades: "I lied but it was in good faith" by Bernard Tapie, "I don't think I have any particular problem with women" by Dominique Strauss-Kahn or "La République, c'est moi" by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Inscribed on the very stone, strong in their splendor or their aberration, the words of an instant now resonate in eternity. Here the artist's commitment has no color, it belongs to nothing and is the universal critic of an era. Thus, whether shocking or admirable, Fabrizio Saracino immortalizes in Latin this media word imprisoned forever in the nobility of marble.
