Raffaele Cioffi (b. 1971 in Desio, Italy) graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan following the courses of Luciano Fabro, a renowned conceptual sculpture artist. He continued to re-orient his visual research and language after becoming acquainted with painters like Claudio Olivieri and Marcio Raciti, both belonging to the ‘Pittura Pittura’ movement. By purifying the colors into the autonomous entity, Cioffi creates luminescent and ethereal chromatic bodies of light that give fluidity to shapes across the canvas. As a result of this painterly life-like force, the viewers may have tactile and metaphysical experiences when looking at his paintings. Since the nineties, Cioffi has exhibited in private galleries and public institutions in Italy and overseas, including the Museum of Modern Art of Gavirate, Venice Biennale, Villa Clerici-Museo d’Arte Sacra in Milan, Civic Museum of Alessandria, Sala dei Convegni of the museum, Museo d’ Arte Contemporanea, Palazzo Ducale in Mantua, and more.
