Mimmo Frassineti
Mimmo Frassineti was born in Castel San Pietro Terme, Italy, but has always lived in Rome. He was an illustrator for a magazine and as a set designer in cinema and television. At some point in his life, photography became very important to him and as a photojournalist he covered stories from Iraq, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, Russia, United States, China, western Europe and more. The journey through space and time is the subject of his paintings: distant dreamlands under a sky that evokes day and night, cities with towers, steeples and domes of brilliant colours which open into the cosmos crossed by stars, planets, galaxies.
