Mino Ceretti was born in Milan in 1930. He attended the Brera Academy under Aldo Carpi, graduating in 1955. He participated, together with Guerreschi, Romagnoni, Ferroni, Banchieri, Vaglieri, in the creation of the existential realism group defined by M. Valsecchi. His works constitute important documentation of this trend. The first individual exhibition took place in 1955 at the San Fedele Gallery in Milan. In the 1970s he devoted himself to still lifes. He organized individual exhibitions at Galeria Solferino in Milan, at Studio 3B in Bolzano, in Verona at Studio della Quaglia, and in 1975 in Parma at Galleria Correggio. He was present in all reviews devoted to the situation in Milan at the beginning of the 1960s. From existential realism to new history in Piacenza and Milan by G. Mascherpa in 1979 and 1981. He was also present at the exhibition Pop art and Italy, curated by R. Bossaglia and S. Zatti at the Visconteo Castle in Pavia in 1983. He exhibited in Montrasio Arte Gallery in Monza. His pictorial research confirms his continuing exploration of the topic of image decay through the development of a series of landscapes and figures in what an object is shown to be when it disappears. These are cycles between heaven and earth and residual landscapes. In 1995 he took part in the exhibition Figures of Painting – Art in Italy 1954-1966 at the Palazzo Sarcinelli in Conegliano Veneto, where he was present again in 1998. He was a teacher at the Albertina Academy in Turin.
