Rafco Art

I love to express myself through the fascinating media of oil paints, and the different possibilities that this medium offers. I use brushes, palette knife, rags, fingers and more.

My interest in art revolves around how human bodies and minds work, and everything in between. I like to experiment with the human form in many ways that challenge the norm about the connection between body and mind. Creating surrealistic images in most of my paintings, my goal is to explore expressions of human emotions and feelings.

As my painting and experimenting process developed around the human mind, my works started to reflects my own thoughts and emotions, in which my subtle portrait can be related to the viewer.

Therefore in my paintings the viewer can see a mix of real and unreal, anatomies and portraits of men and women.
But also non-existent objects that seem to have no meaning for the logical side of the viewer, but which instead have a deep meaning for the unconscious side.

Raffaele has studied Art in Italy and also obtained his BA (hons) Fine Art from London South Bank University and an HND in Graphic Design at the City and Islington College, London.

He studied Psychology at CID CNV in Milano to better know the process behind human emotions.
