Andrea Racciatti - "Senderos de luz" XXL

Technical data:

"Light trails", acrylic on canvas, 2025.
The canvas painting is intended to be stretched on a 90 x 130 cm frame. The canvas measures about 5 cm more on each side to be able to stretch it correctly on the frame.
The shipment is made 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 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. Detail photos also allow the painting technique to be appreciated up close.
The colors of the painting may show minimal 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 multiple coats.
It is recommended to take the painting to be stretched on a frame to a specialized place to ensure it is mounted correctly.

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 part, together, forms a whole.
The painting “Light trails” is part of a series I have been developing in which I observe people alone or in company in parks in different cities. I observe them and photograph the scene unseen, to then interpret it in my studio.
The images of faceless beings parade among the greenery, light and shadows of that nature depicted, embodying the various forms of expression of love, or sometimes merely stating their loss or the nostalgia of pleasure.
Literary text and photography are generally the support for my practice; they function as triggers for ideas and thoughts that materialize in my drawings and paintings.
I believe in art as a tool of personal and social transformation.
I am interested in my work being referenced and entering into dialogue with issues that are common to everyone, as inhabitants of the same world, affected by the same imaginaries, symbols and dreams.
