Vincenzo Raimondo - Fly: Harry Potter #151 #152 #153

New journey of the Fly series through the fantastic world of HP.
Fly 151 152 and 153
***
The “Fly” series was born from the idea of transforming small everyday objects into symbols of memory, lightness, and freedom. Through minimalist compositions and wide tactile backdrops, the attention focuses on essential details: balloons, suspended figures, and nostalgic references that evoke childhood, dreams, and shared memories.
Each artwork plays with the contrast between emptiness and color, between the simplicity of the composition and the emotional strength of the subject. The small protagonist elements seem to float in space, creating a sense of silence and suspension that makes the painting immediately recognizable and contemporary.
The tactile and deliberately imperfect surfaces dialogue with iconic symbols of pop culture and collective memory, giving life to poetic, ironic, and deeply evocative works. “Fly” is a series that speaks of lightness, but also of the emotional weight of memories that we continue to carry with us.

“Art is born where imperfection stops being a defect and becomes language.”

Vincenzo Raimondo
is an Italian contemporary artist born and active in Palermo. Self-taught, he develops a personal painting research that traverses material abstraction, minimalism, and contemporary figuration, without adhering to rigid stylistic schemes.

His painting takes shape from the observation of daily life: common objects, memories, cultural symbols, and emotional fragments are transformed into essential images, capable of creating a direct dialogue with the viewer. The gesture, the matter, and emptiness become an integral part of the visual narrative.

Over the years he has participated in artistic events, group exhibitions, and spontaneous events in the Palermo area, maturing a recognizable language that combines visual immediacy and emotional exploration. His presence in local artistic initiatives and cultural events has contributed to building an independent and coherent path.
Among the most relevant experiences are participation in group shows and artistic events in Palermo and exhibition activities related to the Sicilian contemporary creative panorama.

In 2015 and 2016 he was a finalist in the national Sunday Painters competition promoted by La Stampa within Artissima, standing out among thousands of participating artists. In 2016 he received the Critics’ Award, a recognition that marked a significant step in defining his artistic identity.

Vincenzo Raimondo’s production unfolds through several thematic series. Among these, the Fly series represents one of the most recognizable: minimal and poetic compositions in which small suspended elements evoke lightness, memory, and the desire to escape. Alongside this search, there are material works, contemporary reinterpretations of Sicilian culture, and works inspired by pop and cinematic imagery.

Each work is born from an instinctive and experimental process, where imperfection is welcomed as an authentic part of the creative path. Rough surfaces, stratifications, deliberately irregular marks, and materiality are not hidden, but enhanced as living traces of the work itself.

For Raimondo, art is not mere decoration, but emotional presence: a direct and sincere way of transforming experiences, memory, and observation into contemporary images.
