''KING RAMA X''
Rock Art Ciotola | Movimento Artistico
Year: 2020
In this work, created with the oil on canvas technique and measuring 40x50 cm, Maestro Raffaele Ciotola tackles the portrait of a figure of enormous public resonance, interpreting them through the lens of his distinctive stylistic signature, Rock Art Ciotola. The artist does not limit himself to an iconic reproduction, but delves into the subject's physiognomy, providing a reading dense with contrasts and a modern, almost hieratic, solemnity.
The choice of subject, set within the context of his 2020 production, highlights the Maestro's ability to dialogue with the contemporary, filtering symbols of power and national identity through a technique that emphasizes the volumes and psychological depth of the face. The skillful layering of the figure and symbolic elements draws the observer's attention, inviting reflection on the role of public image in the current era. With this work, Maestro Ciotola confirms the versatility of his artistic research, capable of combining a rigorous visual language with the analysis of figures of great historical and social relevance, once again consolidating his place in the contemporary art landscape.
