Claudio Rolfi (1960) - Volare via

Claudio Rolfi, born in Genoa in 1960. From his early works one can notice the great fascination that Italian art of the 1900s has been able to exert on him, with masters such as Casorati, Morandi, Carrà and de Chirico. In his forty years of artistic career there are more than seventy solo exhibitions and countless artistic events, among which television programs dedicated entirely to him. The work of Maestro Rolfi has been discussed by the most important newspapers and by television and radio stations. Among the most notable events are the great exhibition Centoeventigiorni held at Santa Maria degli Angeli in Rome in 2002, inaugurated in the presence of Mrs. Franca Ciampi and Walter Veltroni; the exhibition at the Dopmiziano Museum in Rome; the solo show at Mondadori in Milan; the exhibition at the Palazzo della Cultura in Reggio Calabria; and BAM Baveno Arte Maggiore presented by Vittorio Sgarbi. The Maestro’s paintings have been used for about six years as scenery for the GEO program on Rai 3.

His works are present in many Italian collections, in the United States, Japan, Canada and throughout the rest of Europe.

Oil and acrylic on canvas

The painting represents a hot air balloon, a recurring theme by the artist that for several years has been used for the scenery of the GEO transmission on Rai3. With this subject he expresses lightness and the natural metaphysical aspect of the balloons, to the point of nicknaming them "the jellyfish of the air." The work is provided with a Certificate of Authenticity signed and stamped and shipped by FedEx.
