Andrea Racciatti - "Donde la sombra florece"

Technical data:

"Where the shade blooms", acrylic on canvas, 2026.
The canvas painting is intended to be stretched on an 80 x 80 cm frame. The canvas measures about 5 cm more on each side to be able to stretch it correctly on the frame.
Shipping is done by rolling the canvas in a cardboard tube, protected, inside a packaging box to prevent damage and reduce shipping costs. The painting is sent without stretcher or frame.
The painting is original and unique, and it 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. Also, the close-up detail photos allow you to appreciate the painting technique at a zoom level.
The colors of the painting may show a minimal variation on screen, depending on the photo and the monitor calibration used to view it. Differences in the paint’s materiality may also be observed, as I seek 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 a frame so it is mounted correctly.

Statement:

My training is pictorial, 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, other times, series are built within a larger “theme” where each one, together, forms a whole.
The painting “The Fruits of the Earth” is part of a series in which I began by doing a “scouting,” as a recognition of the new place I inhabit, Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona. I roam its streets, observe terraces, sunsets, plazas, etc. It is a way of portraying what surrounds me and that presents itself to me, provoking a sense of wonder.
Literary text and photography are generally the supports of my practice; they function as triggers for ideas and thoughts that materialize in my drawings and paintings.
I believe in art as a tool for individual and social transformation.
I am interested in having my work referenced and in entering into dialogue with issues that are common to everyone, as inhabitants of the same world, affected by the same imaginations, symbols, and dreams.
