Op.554 MMXXIII Painting

Raffaello Eroico's artistic practice draws heavily from his professional background in graphic design and photography, fields in which he has honed his skills for a decade. Initially, he developed his artistic language by integrating the principles of these disciplines. However, as he delved into artistic research and responded to the advancements in electronic imaging technology, he made a conscious decision to move away from the conceptual rhetoric prevalent in contemporary art. Instead, he adopted a distinctive approach to drawing and painting, focusing on figuration. Central to Eroico's artistic practice is his ability to reinterpret classical and modern figurative traditions through a contemporary lens. Whether through his paintings or drawings, his works are characterized by powerful, instinctive strokes and an expressive use of vibrant materials. While exuding energy and intensity, Eroico's works maintain a sense of tempered chromatic harmony. This balance is achieved through a meticulous composition inspired by his background in photographic framing. Eroico's artistic creations, guided by intuition, consistently present diverse and heterogeneous iconographic solutions. They bear witness to a continuous and uninhibited artistic exploration, marked by an almost anarchic spirit
