Heraldo Mussolini is a traditional artist and a hobbyist based in Argentina. He’s known for his illustrations of pre-historic animals that have attracted the attention of many art lovers. His favorite visual artists include Alan Lee, John Howe, Frank Frazetta, Raúl Martín, M.C. Escher, Ciruelo Cabral, Leonardo Da Vinci, Oscar Chichoni, Alfons Mucha, John William Waterhouse, John Sibbick and Douglas Henderson, among others. Mussolini complicates life in order to make it simple because he believes life tends to be complicated and it is therefore easier to make it complicated than to make it simple. This is what determines his art and summarizes his overall style, posters and prints. In this way, he creates pictures in which the figurative and the abstract harmonize very well with one another. This has made his art to be very attractive, and his art can be seen in many collections around the world.
The qualities that typify the work of Mussolini include gentle but bold colors applied as monochromes or by combining temperate tones of green and grey in perfect balance; transparent surfaces; and unique spatial depth. The artist uses a human approach to his art and goes into the most intimate detail of the subjects: animals with luxurious bodies, the face of blue-eyed pre-historic animals. His works continue to fascinate many collectors, more so because they are design-oriented with bold colors and style, and without any simple artistic restraints. Mussolini knows how to manipulate texture, color and other elements to bring a perfect balance in his art.
