Op.495 MMXXI Painting

Op.495 is part of the cycle "A dip in Arcadia" focusing on an imagined classicity conceived at present, namely on how it can be reconsidered nowday. The implied confrontation is not with a specific artwork or author but with the monumental complex of ancient art as a whole. Executed proceeding by a preconscious syncretic flow, developed by intution, this work would show a timeless dimension research evoking primordial visions. Raffaello Eroico is in constant search of a balance between classical art, digital arts and contemporary art. He thus gives us a figuration in which matter has a central place, and manages to harmonize the austerity of the classical and the formal innovation of modernism, for an undeniably original contemporary result. A research influenced by Renaissance and Baroque art, in perfect balance in the dialogue between classical, digital and contemporary art harmonizing the austerity of classical and formal innovation of modernism, declining it with extreme skill towards the contemporary horizon. A visual semiotics so intense to reveal the intellectual will of Rafferoico to dialogue with the great tradition of the past through a renewed expressionistic language, deep in the search for light and color, in which the bodies and faces of the portrayed figures and the landscapes represent a constant attempt of the artist to generate a new classicism, a dimension without space and without time. visual research figurative expressionism balance original composition photographic approach figurative insight reinventing tradition classical dialogue austere composition visual intuition baroque influence energetic disenchanted painting as a 6x6 former photographer never painted twice the same frontal visual glamour luxury mind passion intuition visuelle reinventing modernism exploring visual art as an endless sensual adventure
