Mario Sauces stops the images of men and women in the moments of greatest inwardness, in contact with themselves. In a sense of loss that is true in a time of great reality.
This aspect of man is moving, touching despite the coldness of the representation. For Mario Sauces is not to make a social commentary, has no intention to demonize our contemporary life. The artist has the eye to capture those moments of estrangement from the world and to focus on self-. And right here the words of Heidegger returns to remind us that this is in itself, in its truth, that creates the time and not the other way.
Rarely do artists have the ability to make us see a glimpse of the contemporary and at the same time give us a kind of resolution, Thinking happy. But in my opinion it does Sauces Mario and I wish that the strength of his poetry is perceived fully. Its plus is a perfect language to communicate with the younger generation and the young collectors since it opens a dialogue with the British Pop Art rifondandone some statutes through the use of language strategies cartoon, dell'affiche and illustration. We observe simple compositions, clean, with few elements, often with a fascinating skyline in the background. In each work opens a space that continues beyond the limit of the framework, is always an infinite space from which stands out even more the importance of the human figure and his "lost-discovery".
