Dorta Raffaella, painting "Madonna with Child", oil on canvas and mixed media, 120x70

The elegance of 17th century maternity, softened by details in gold and brocade painted on the sides. A fresco that comes out of the picture, as if the image came out of the house wall by illusion.

He begins his career with tromp l'oeil, a pictorial genre that deludes the viewer to look at real and three-dimensional objects painted on a wall.

He later specialized on author's forgeries and found maximum outlet on the reproduced paintings of Caravaggio whom he loved and on the expressionists, meticulously reproducing Van Gogh, Modigliani, Matisse, Gauguin.

The highest expression of his way of being however comes with realism and hyperrealism. Portraitist by nature, he loves to report what is commissioned in a meticulous and real way.

In an attempt to give voice to the characters he imprints on the canvas, he arrives at Surrealism, where his fine and perfect painting technique blends with the deepest aspects of the psyche.

Through Surrealism, in fact, Dorta expresses a higher reality, made up of irrationality and dreams: from here come works where people can reflect themselves in the various paths of their mind.
