Kanso mood Painting

Raffaella Lupetti is an Italian artist who pursues an aesthetic ideal of sobriety and elegance, evocative and inclined to convey suggestions that establish an emotional and subconscious exchange between viewer and work. She takes inspiration from great artists such as G. Richter, C. Monet, A. Kiefer and M. C. Escher, as well as from Zen aesthetics, which she has deepened in decades of study and practice as a bonsai artist. Therefore, besides colours and materials, even the imperfection of objects is of great fascination to her. Regardless of the chosen medium, acrylic or oil, she creates abstract or expressionistic art, in most cases by multi-layering technique, using a chromatic range that is sometimes luscious with saturated hues or more subtle and delicate. Each time she indulges in the interaction of colors and liquids on the canvas, letting her or chance alternately take control of the creative process. It is an act of trust and experimentation, where the fate of the work is revealed step by step and is the result of a flow of artistic energy that manifests itself in a unique way each time. She is fascinated by being able to go beyond the limit of the two-dimensionality of the support, thus enticing the viewer to approach and linger in the "depth" of details on and below the surface, so that the work challenges and fascinates him at every opportunity in a new way. Raffaella also creates paintings with mixed media and structural techniques that describe a state of mind rather than a defined reality and that are also a way to get in touch with our deepest self, evoking emotions already felt or new, but still intense and that invite a personal interpretation, allowing a unique connection, which triggers fascination and curiosity. Her desire is to create art works by making an evocative story through colors, textures, patterns and forms that are full of beauty, peace, emotions, discovery and more importantly soul. Born in 1964 in Milan, Italy, she has been exposed to the enjoyment of art in all its forms of expression since she was a child. Graduated in Professional Photography at the European Institute of Design in Milan, she later obtained a further degree in Biological Sciences and a subsequent Specialization in Applied Genetics, becoming a full-time research scientist in Milan and then in Munich for several years.
