Mauro Bergonzoli was the natural choice to inaugurate this vision.

Mauro Bergonzoli is an international contemporary Artist born December 24th 1965 in Milan, Italy Painting, drawing, sculpture, design, animation, film. Mauro Bergonzoli (b. December 24th, 1965 in Milan Italy) is best known for his Neo-Pop style and genre-defying modern interpretation of classic draftsmanship. Mauro began his art journey at a very young age, mastering the art of precision and drawing while working the machines in his father’s engraving studio. He sold his first comics and artworks while attending art school in Italy. His talent caught the attention of several prominent advertising agencies in Milan, who promptly recruited the young artist. A 25-year-long successful career in advertising and as creative director of commercial and animation films for clients like Ferrero and Geox followed. In 2000 Bergonzoli chose to focus more on his own original art with successful gallery and museum exhibitions in cities such as Portofino, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Hong Kong, Milan, St. Moritz, Miami, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin, Bologna, Ravenna, Augsburg, Venice and Palm Beach. His medium of choice is acrylic on canvas. The classic “Bergonzoli” style is graphic, colorful, figurative and full of fun details. His artistic language is greatly influenced by his spiritual inner landscape, drawing on memories like his mother‘s blue eyes, one of which she lost to cancer during his early childhood, replacing it with a glass eye and leaving an everlasting impression on the artist. During his youth, Mauro often endured physical violence and quickly found solace and healing in drawing and painting beautiful images. With his iconic trademarks - the blue Bergonzoli eye & his famous character “The Magic Bunny” who symbolizes humor, magic, and productivity, he observes the world from within his paintings with a positive and often ironic point of view. For Playboy Germany’s 50th anniversary 2022 he was asked to create the Cover artwork and painted an explosion of magic bunnies in awe of a classic Bergonzoli beauty. The Magic Bunny plays a central role not only in Bergonzoli‘s oeuvre, but also in his commitment to animal welfare and creative work with the younger generations. As father of 5 daughters and grandfather to 3 granddaughters, Mauro’s artwork shows his deep admiration for women and mother nature while reminding his viewer of the power of humor, beauty and love. Mauro has recently created artistic collaborations with companies such as: MEGGLE, PLAYBOY, DINZLER, GOEBEL, CALLWEY, CAPOLAVORO, SIMPLY-V, MÜLLER, FINORI, RAVENSBURGER, SAVE THE DUCK, LODENFREY, BRUNNEN, and MAC JEANS with many more to come.

“Art should provoke, comfort, and inspire all at once,” - Jennifer Balcos

e Italian-born artist, whose evocative mixed-media works have captivated collectors across Europe, brings a rare combination of emotional intensity and meticulous crasmanship to each piece. Bergonzoli’s practice involves layering found materials, pigments, and textural elements over weeks—sometimes months—allowing each work to evolve organically. e result is art that feels both ancient and utterly contemporary, whispering stories of memory, place, and transformation.

Unframed but undeniably powerful, Bergonzoli’s pieces command attention without pretense. With works priced from $15,000 to upward of $200,000 for monumental installations, they represent not just aesthetic investment, but cultural legacy. A recent Bergonzoli piece sold for $350,000 at a major art fair, signaling the artist’s rapidly ascending trajectory in the international market. Whether acquired by seasoned collectors, museum curators, or discerning newcomers to the art world, Bergonzoli’s work—and the Jennifer Balcos Gallery’s inaugural vision—mark an enduring collaboration that fuses artistic excellence, cultural dialogue, and timeless creativity in a way few exhibitions ever achieve.
