Born in Milan in 1964, Riccardo Mari has always lived in the world of art in the most varied forms. Riccardo studied music, painting, and then returned to photography as his primary form of expression, learning the business in the field, as an assistant to Fabio Meazzi and Paolo Cecchio. This was a very beneficial stage for Riccardo, as he had the opportunity to deal with photographic realities of all kinds: from still life to advertising portraits, and from food to cars.

Today he lives in Tuscany in a small village on the Chianti hills near Florence, he works in his studio (Garage Creative Gallery) mainly on his projects, in which he transfers all his love for images, literature, and music, also approaching video productions.
