Her artistic creative background founded mostly, in contemporary art, some of her artworks can create a dialogue between conceptual, abstract, automatic, surreal art but not only! Much of her works and exhibitions has a major discussion an exploration of the textual language in art both written and metaphorically. Throughout her artistic journey Rafaella, has developed an inimitable and outstanding alphabet that comes out of her self really physically, an alphabet of new signs and objects, an unreadable for the majority that she is constantly creating and investigating thoroughly. Call it obsession; I call it as a blessing! She explains; ‘I am blessed with the letters of an alphabet and I am the Mother of Alfarale. I paint and I recreate everything with it, this is my greatest more authentic and realistic obsession’. Rafaella tends to paint the feeling of writing and the emotion of a letter by hand; she is focusing in the process of writing as much in the genesis of the new sometimes; creature, figurative, portraiture, abstract, another but truly realistic. The artist works in the mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture, metalwork, textual language, calligraphy, poetry although her artworks have spanned a variety of alternative media’s including film, live performances, 3D steel installations, kinetic installations, video art, NFT art.
She defines herself ‘as the painter of writing and as the writer of painting’…
