Mixed: Paint, wax, metallic glazes, pastels, photography and other

R. Racanello ARTIST STATEMENT:

Art has always been part of me, from the first time I colored outside the lines and preferred my result to the neater versions of my classmates. I started to identify myself as an “artist” when others called me by that name. Soon I began to understand that this was something you could “be.”
In the past decade I have become fascinated with flipping some part of the perspective in each piece I create resulting in a kind of enhanced reality using paint, metallic glazes, crayon, pastel and sometimes a variety of less conventional media as well as photographs that I have taken to bring my inner vision forward in my artwork. You will see what I see.
There is no use of digital art effects or scanning, no reproductions of finished pieces, no multiple editions. Each completed piece is unique and hand-made, a one of a kind finished multimedia artwork.
