Dorta Raffaella, painting "Egypt", oil on canvas and mixed media, 130x80

Sepia color to remember the heat of the desert and the silence that is drawn from it while walking through it.

To the touch on the canvas one has the impression of hearing the sand given by fine lime mixed with color crunching under the fingertips.

AUTHOR'S BIOGRAPHY

Dorta Raffaella was born in Milan on October 26, 1974, since she was a child she loves to paint so much so that she begins studies aimed at the secondary schools attached to the Institute of Art with a focus on cabinet making. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia in painting and art history.

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.
