Raffaella Caminiti
"Mimicry of face and body can tell a lot.
Human contact and expression are fundamental aspects to me. It is also true that one can feel "touched" by the harmony of landscapes, by perfumes, sounds or by compositions of colors and shapes. As a child, in the United States, I felt captured by nostalgia and spirituality of Gospel songs and I later focused my attention on folklore and customs of the different cultures met during my frequent trips around North and Central America and the long stays in the Caribbean.The periods of life abroad gifted me with experiences that still today contribute to my creativity and curiosity. The typical colors of some countries have always remained with me and are a recurrent component of my art work. During a phase of great activity came along one of the trips you would never want to embark.
Alzhaimer, unpleasant guest, has swapped up and forever changed my mom. It cancelled identity and memories, modified expressions and all she had been before. It made my art thicker and often bitter. My work now is a continuous flow; I go along with my need to smudge and get dirty experimenting and to carry swinging emotions on canvas. I approach abstract forms, creating contrasts and a matheric thickness by layers of glues, colors and scratches that build patterns.
Walks in my world and pieces of my emotions which I tell about to whom observes, unpretentiously, I represent my cry to life"Raffaella Caminiti
