Raffaele is an Italian artist based in London (UK). He has been fascinated by the art of drawing since his childhood. As a teenager, while he was attending the Scientific High School, he started to study, self-taught, the anatomy, perspective, the theory of shade and light and colour.

After gaining his Scientific Diploma, he decided to study Art in Italy. Eventually, he moved to London (UK) where Raffaele obtained his BA (Hons) Fine Art from London South Bank University and an HND in Graphic Design at the City and Islington College, London. Meanwhile he has created many paintings, experimenting with different techniques and ways and trying to see anatomy not only as the figure of the human body, but also as an expression of his emotions.

He loves to express himself through the fascinating media of oil paints, and the different possibilities that this medium offers. He uses brushes, palette knives, rags, fingers and more. His interest in art revolves around how human bodies and minds work, and everything in between.
