Marco Araldi

Marco Araldi trained in architecture and mechanical engineering, graduating in Milan before embarking on a global journey that eventually led him to settle in London. With over eighteen years as an artist, he continues to base his creative practice in the UK capital, exhibiting his works in galleries across both the UK and internationally.

Deeply rooted in mathematical design, Marco’s work is shaped by his architectural and engineering background. His renowned Mappa Mundi series skilfully applies Cartesian and polar coordinate systems, as well as celestial and solar diagrams, rendered with ink, acrylic, watercolour, and gilding on canvas. Through these works, he deconstructs reality into equations and graphs, inviting viewers to navigate both the mundane and the sublime through structured form.

Marco explores architectural and sculptural masterpieces with meticulous precision, drawing them in fine detail to unlock the mindsets of their original creators and the social and historical contexts in which they were conceived. He then juxtaposes these insights with present-day built environments, adding nuanced commentary through his visual storytelling.
