Andrea Racciatti - "Magic Forest" XXL

Technical data:

- "Magic Forest", acrylic on canvas, 90 x 120 cm, 2026.

The painting on canvas is designed to be stretched on a 90 x 120 cm frame. The canvas measures about 5 cm longer on each side to allow proper stretching on the frame.
Shipping is done by rolling the canvas around a cardboard tube, protected, inside a packing box to prevent damage and reduce shipping costs. The painting is sent without a stretcher or any frame.
The painting is original and unique, and is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas.
The certificate of authenticity is attached.
The photos that can be seen in the gallery give an idea of how the painting would look in different environments. The detail photos also allow the painting technique to be appreciated up close.
The colors of the painting may present a slight variation on screen, depending on the photo and the monitor calibration used to view it. Differences in the materiality of the paint may also be observed, as I seek the richness and vibrancy of color through the layering of coats.
It is recommended to take the painting to a specialized place to stretch it on the frame so it is properly mounted.

Statement:

My training is in painting, but in practice I have explored different ways of expressing my ideas. I work by producing series based on an idea or “theme” that interests me. Sometimes, series are built within a larger “theme” where each one, together, forms a whole.
The painting “Magic Forest” is part of a series I have been developing, where I observe people alone or in the company of others in parks in different cities. I observe and photograph the scene without being seen, to then interpret it in my studio.
The faceless figures parade among the greenery, light and shadows of that depicted nature, embodying the various forms of love, or sometimes simply conveying loss or nostalgia for joy.
Literary text and photography are generally the support for my work, acting as triggers for ideas and thoughts that take shape in my drawings and paintings.
I believe in art as a tool for personal and social transformation.
I am interested in having my work referenced and in dialogue with issues common to all, as inhabitants of a shared world, affected by the same imaginaries, symbols, and dreams.
