Raffaele Fiore was boro in Striano (Naples) on13th August 1961. Paintings wìth an extraordìnary expressive liveliness characterize thè work of this aitisi who has already acbieved years of activity at thè age of only 34 His works are sold both in Italy and abroad and are exhibited every year at thè most important famous International Shows.
Whatever he paints - neo-classic ladies or gentlemen in a sitting-room, feminine nudes, landscapes or flora! - bis touch ìs skilful, deft, constructìve.
In his eyes» drawing and colour are one? a realily to be and seized at once, as a whole.
Fiore is also competent in drawing sketches which are immediate, rapid and £resh in their conciseness, and in any for thè well-pondered substance of a so-called fìnished painting. Thrilled by thè concreteness of things and thè "challenge" to reproduce them in thè painting exactly as they are, Fiore displays a resolute personal inclination to distinguish thè technical components of thè trade of pictorial expression, which are enhanced only because they permit thè evidence of its revelation. Execution, drawing and colour in his paintings denote a way of thinking, evaluatìng and selecting which is concrete, sometimes even prosaic, but fully in accordance with his way of understanding painting, narrating, recalling.
Fiore's canvases hand down bygone eras and thè past comes extraordinarily to life again through thè experience and. sensitivity of this painter, pupil and follower of thè greatest Masters of thè last century,
He is a gifted, elegant portrail painter, a landscape painter with suffused attractive oils, an "old style" describer, but bere and there he is also a hyperrealistic painter in thè contemporary sense. In our opinion Raffaele Fiore is one of those rare, fortunate artists favoured by thè naturai gift of representing in pictures.
