"MouchoirDeZurbaran IV" Op.566/04 MMXXIV Drawing

"Exploring visual art as an endless sensual adventure" born in Naples - Italy lives and works in Toulouse - France "Raffaello Eroico's work stems from his professional experiences in graphic design, photography, and industrial design. The language he developed in practicing these disciplines has been transposed into a purely artistic research framework, aiming to renew tradition with a contemporary perspective by surpassing conceptual approaches. His approach focuses on radical elements and is restricted to the elementary means of drawing and painting. His practice places figuration at the center, allowing him to interpret the classical heritage in an original and contemporary manner, particularly influenced by Baroque painting due to his Neapolitan origins. His works are distinguished by their power and the instinct of decisive gestures, as well as by a vibrant material, decidedly expressionist. However, this energy is expressed in a tempered chromatic harmony, structured by a composition rigor inspired by the practice of photographic framing. These images, conceived intuitively, present consistently varied iconographic solutions and testify to a free, adventurous search, yet always marked by a stylistic coherence in continuous evolution.".
