Raffaele Trappin - Untitled

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

Raffaele Trappin's works reveal a personal inclination toward surrealism and dreamlike dimensions reminiscent of science fiction. His paintings undoubtedly contain a strong sense of symbolism, which the painter interprets in the creation of a parallel dimension composed of planets, musical notes, and metaphysical figures. Formally, Trappin adheres to the hyperrealist tendencies of historical surrealism, with a solid, concrete, and provocatively three-dimensional representation. Even his palette adheres to the surrealist aesthetic that informs his work, with a bold choice of fluorescent hues.

Raffaele Trappin was born in Bolzano in 1938 and passed away in 2015. He initially attended a seminary, but his love for art soon led him to travel the world to grow and establish himself. As a boy, he began to be drawn to the universe's magnetic allure. After his training, it was in the 1970s that Trappin's work began to gain recognition and recognition. He won numerous awards and participated in dozens of competitions, but perhaps the most beautiful reward came from the many students who began to consider Raffaele a master worth following.
