Raúl Di Ciano - Otro ángel que cae

Not every fall signals an end. Some are the most humane way to return to the earth. In this work, the angel abandons the idea of perfection to confront the weight of matter, memory, wound, and experience. In its descent there is no defeat, but transformation. Each fracture opens a possibility, and in the midst of the fall, light finds another way to exist.

Raúl Di Ciano (Buenos Aires, 1962), based in Tenerife since 2002, develops an artistic practice that moves between painting and sculpture, with a pronounced interest in materiality and processes of transformation. His work is built from recovered elements, where gesture and matter dialogue to generate a visual language of an organic and symbolic character. In this intersection between the residual and the poetic, his pieces address memory, the passage of time, and the resignification of the everyday. He has presented his work in exhibitions in Argentina, Brazil, and Spain, joining private and institutional collections.
