Scarabeo. Un piccolo coleottero, lucido e cangiante. Forse uno tra i centinaia di scarabei ritrovati in Sardegna, dove la civiltà nuragica aveva forti relazioni con quella egizia. Come lo scarabeo egizio, magico amuleto, nel suo divenire e trasformarsi dona eterna rinascita a chi lo possiede. Lo smalto verde, colore di Osiride, dona protezione.
Mario Fois was born in Nuoro in 1971 where he lives and works. Since the end of the 80s begins operating around aerosol art and street’s culture. After several years of intense activity, without detaching from the artistic spirit that has marked the first expression, comes to traditional painting techniques on canvas, with particular attention to the use of colour of American abstract expressionism. At half-90s is one of the founders of "Kentu Concas Kentu Berrittas" an artistic movement characterized by the maximum individual freedom and an intense exhibition activity. In recent years Fois has been protagonist of various personal, which has proven to be able to compare effectively with different techniques’ and formats, moving from micro to macro without ever losing sight of the meaning of painting as a gesture of liberation .
