Short Bio

Born in the Ravenna countryside, Carlo Ravaioli developed a multifaceted artistic background, exploring various disciplines before arriving at advertising graphics in the 1980s. His style represents an unprecedented and surprising synthesis of contrasting worlds: cutting-edge digital technologies and the material values of traditional painting. Described as a “modern alchemist”, Carlo creates an extraordinary coincidentia oppositorum, where the high definition of the immaterial image processed by computer blends with the sensual richness and chromatic density of painting on wood. His works explore the boundary between the real and the virtual, transforming the coldness of software into a tactile, ambiguous and deeply evocative visual experience.
