Discover the contemporary work of Raffy

Now older ; I have to paint! I leave in this first expression which is a bridge between our emotions and our intelligent world. I express my childhood passion to finalize a personal journey of Design and Architecture which seeks to express this indescribable pleasure of lightness to be in his time.

With the complicity of of foreign talent; Architects, publishers and entrepreneurs I was able to finalize a sensory aesthetic of the object to be created. Architecture. This course in Architecture and Design in France and abroad the strange thing is now accomplished for me. These multicultural achievements received support from the Venice Biennale in 1992; of a price at a price Miami in 2001 for the renovation of old heritage; of the Medal of the Academy of Architecture in 1995 and the 1° APIDA price at Hong Kong in the Asia Pacific region. Winner of the Agora scholarship from the start; My work has received support from numerous publications and 8 drawing books are part of the acquisitions of the decorative arts library of the Louvre Museum.

I don't have time anymore lose and I work a lot in painting. I look for an expression of vagueness through raw gestures to express my view on society. and my travels. I forgot my too precise Architect drawing to look for expressions of emotion that I present to you in this biographical note:

Part 1 The portraits

There are these faces of transsexuals which is my first working theme in relation to my designer's view on the evolution of our behavior.

Expressing portraits of transsexuals draws attention to this change in our society. which seems to me much more powerful than its appearance. For me, they are a major event in our modernity. Change Woman to Woman Man and Masculine Feminine is our future with equality. current genres.

This indescribable pleasure of living a second life beyond of his human condition resumes gods part of its timelessness; and a part of its power.

Part 2 I paint travel memories

There are these Edens of our travels that escape from our lives. Restore these moments of eternity that I felt during my journey as a Designer.

Resuming these dreams of these Asian mornings, of these summer nights warm, of this humidity of the lagoons where palm trees are actors in this perpetual and immutable renewal of every morning in the world. They remain outside of time and represent an inaccessible Eden. I am looking to paint this flight of my memories of travels which move away from my time. Erasing my paintings with my brushes which move the gaze away from my works by revealing another emotion in the visitor .

Part 3 I paint these universe cities

Always traveling in painting by continuing this neo-impressionist research with these cities near or far away where we felt this gift of ubiquity; dear to Marcel Aymé . Translate this wonderful feeling of stepping out of one's space and time. Above all, be far from yourself and not look too closely at the shapes, but finally take a part of eternity in your life. which evaporates and which I reconstruct in my imagination.

Part 4 I paint these women's looks

Melancholy. Life happens, life passes and those who express themselves in their art have become magical and move on to life. through the time of our memories.

I am currently working on this theme to express the value of these beings beyond of their gifts. First, La Callas of whom you will find these two portraits, the one who has this haughty and absent look where all the nostalgia in the world is found in the drama of her love life and her world as a singer. cosmopolitan operas.
