About The Artwork

This artwork is inspired by Greek mythology: in Altea' s myth the Calidone' s queen try to save her son from the announced death by keeping a wooden log always lit. In my representation Altea holds a fantastic creature in her arms, and protects her with music, wrapping and hiding her between the strings of an imaginary instrument. The atmosphere of the painting is suspended, dreamy, but the intense red and the proud gaze of the woman convey decision and strength. The tapered profile of face and hands stand out from geometric backgrounds, made by combining rough surfaces, as if they came to us from an ancient world.

Raffaella Brusaglino, born in 1975, lives and works in Turin, Italy, as a freelance artist. She is is best known for her paintings where the characters, at the center of the scene, are blended with geometric backgrounds. Sharp and tapered profiles of faces and hands stand out on golden surfaces recalling the Byzantine preciousness. The subjects call to mind an imaginary Middle Age or the 15th century Florentine painting. Well-defined details follow indefinite, fringed masses, rough surfaces obtained with thick scratched matter, deposited with the spatula and spontaneous gestures. The texture comes from a wide range of media, including metallic foil, plaster, paper and threads. Brusaglino's art is both figurative and abstract, with traits of informal and surrealism. Her large canvases lead to a poetic, oneiric and magical dimension where any marking becomes memory, narration and metaphor according to a mysterious language; the absence of perspective clues creates a displacement effect that suggests multiple meanings. Raffaella Brusaglino's work focuses on a-temporal and universal themes regarding the human condition, such as communication,love,roots,self-awareness. She represents silent dialogues, between humans and, sometimes, meta-historic animals, emerging from a strong scenic impact background.
