Raffaela
Cappelletto

My artistic path stems from a passion that I cultivate since childhood, from my deep way of observing and “feeling” people, nature and things inserted in a world, experienced firsthand, often hostile and careless. Color, in today and in the past, is an immense resource that has slowly become an instrument of narration of real and visible images, as well as of imaginary and dreamlike ones, aimed at always creating a continuous dynamism in me. It may be about how I look in wonder at simple subjects, such as flowers, growing grass, a dragonfly, the flight of a heron, the bare branches of a tree, but also more complex realities, such as my constant gaze on the world, in the urgent need for peace, the loneliness of men, their need to meet each other. In addition to color, form is also a great ally of mine. the search for an aesthetically pleasing form and the search for a form true to my way of feeling and being coexist in me. Right now the beauty I seek in my art is mainly my being more and more able to express my constant glimpses of life, in a way that adheres to who I am, passionately trying to capture the essence of nature and people .
