E N I G M A - N.2 - Limited Edition of 19 Artwork

Marco Raimondo(Genoa, 1961) is an artist based in Milan, where he delves into the interplay between traditional drawing techniques and innovative digital photo editing processes. Central to Raimondo's approach is "Digital Stain Immersion", an his own technique he has pioneered in which layers of a digitized artwork are "immersed" in digital color fields. Through selective adjustments of brightness, hue, contrast, and saturation, he creates an organic fusion between the colors and the underlying textures of the scanned paper. This method evokes a balance between digital precision and the rawness of traditional mediums, reflecting Raimondo’s background in electronic engineering. Raimondo's practice is rooted in automatic drawing, where his hand follows subconscious impulses, leaving behind forms and lines that serve as the foundation for further digital manipulation. His works blend form and color in a way that creates abstract narratives, often floating between dreamlike and geometric realms, urging viewers to engage with their own perceptions. Through these thematic explorations, Marco Raimondo's work bridges the gap between the conscious and subconscious, the visible and the invisible. His creations invite viewers into evocative worlds, where personal interpretation and open-ended exploration are key. His dynamic use of form, color, and texture offers a contemplative space in which the complexities of identity, reality, and existence are explored in depth. Building upon the foundation of his abstract artistry, Marco Raimondo also delves into the realm of female portraiture, blending traditional methods with cutting-edge digital techniques, including artificial intelligence. His portraits, infused with depth and introspection, beckon viewers to. further ponder the complexities of the human mind. His artistic journey began under the guidance of his mother, a passionate ceramist, who nurtured his passion for drawing and color since childhood, fostering numerous visits to art exhibitions and museums both locally and internationally.
