Mario Lupo - Seagulls

Mario Lupo was born in 1926 in Giulianova, in the province of Teramo. As a young man, he moved several times with his family of five siblings, first to Gorizia, then to Pescara, and finally returning to Giulianova after the war. He decided to enlist in the Maritime Finance Police, and at the same time began painting in his spare time, starting with master copies of 19th-century works and later moving on to painting flowers and country houses. For work, he moved to Ancona, where he began to meet various painters, including Fanesi, who encouraged him to pursue his art. It was during this period that he exhibited in his first solo shows in Rome, Milan, San Benedetto del Tronto, and Siena. Perhaps also due to his passion for sailing, he began painting on canvas, a rough canvas used in sailing. He began to develop his own style, primarily depicting seascapes, hillside landscapes, black-and-whites, and religious subjects. In 1964, he painted his first "Woman in Waiting," a subject that would become a constant in his art. A few years later, seagulls also appeared, and the two often began to appear side by side. The artist died in 1992.
