Francesco Mazzi is an artist and entrepreneur who created and presented the "3D FRAME PUSH-UP" patent, which shows the canvas outside the frame and obtained the rights, with this new display method the frame becomes the stage where the work is performed.
This unique framing technique gives the work greater three-dimensionality and a new sense of presence for the viewer and has been hailed as "total art" that harmonizes with the space. In February 2020, FRANCESCO MAZZI presented his first solo exhibition , Spring-Summer Collection, in Ginza, Tokyo, all works sold out.

By renovating a historic home with a Japanese-style internal garden, from here on MAZZI will create works of art and frames, take care of the entire photo video production and carry out his functions as president of the company.
