ABOUT ME

Riccardo’s works are characterized by the emphasis on anatomical features of the human being.

He focuses particularly on the lights and shadows that define the shapes, looking for a softness and depth of neoclassical sculpture. All this is superimposed on eccentric and colored background that alienate his works from traditional painting and bring them closer to a pop posterization.

It’s a distorted image processing between modernism and classicism which evolves into a still image, allowing the artist to create paintings with a strong visual impact.
