Mauro Pace Parascandalo was born in 1968 in Birgu, Malta. As from his teenage years Mauro experimented with various media, being self-taught, mostly focusing on the human body. While over the years he produced some pieces of art,
it was only in 2018 when he had a life changing
experience, did he decide to take art more
seriously, being tutored in the use of various
media. It was in 2019 that he decided to
returned to his primary love, sculpturing in clay,
this time with a deeper and personal style.
