Ho visitato il suo sito. Interessanti i lavori in Perseus room e Ancien Regard, troppo tutti uguali quelli di Aquarius room. Comunque interessanti,  valgono la visita...

No Subject.

...The form EXpressionism you use forces me to look beyond the subject and into her psyche.... ...Questions form...then subside before they have time to be answered... ...and are quickly replaced by more questions... ...Expressionism (in all its schools and styles) is the direction I have been swimming all my life... ...Thanks for sharing!

Donna con cappuccio verde

• This piece is the best work I have seen you paint. This is exceptional a classic by far. Sal Scornavacca

23/05/2002

• This painting is lovely. The artist has captured the past and the present look of a very confident woman. The face reminds me of a woman of the 1920's to 30's era. Very thin eyebrows extremely red lips and slender body form. Today that is reflected in many of the makeup applications and makeup artist I see in my industry. "EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN" I love the colors and find a sense of peace and tranquility with with painting. I feel the artist has captured many aspects of the woman she has painted.
  I truly enjoyed this work.
  Thank You....

• Rich colors, wonderful contrasts (your feel for color speaks volumes), the texture, all is so perfectly balanced in this piece. I love the flow of your lines - and the way you use space. You are clearly a very gifted artist. Keep up the amazing work, you've found an audience in me. BFN, G

27/04/2002

Nice work, but...

• I would love to see you express yourself using a different color scheme for a change - and trying on some new brush strokes. You have this color scheme and this particular style/stroke etc. down - no doubt about it - but I grow weary of seeing the same style repeat itself, even & especially in myself !! I think we all do it sometimes, we get excited about a style we feel connected to - and we run with it, sometimes way too far - then our work starts to become...."soul-less" in a way -all style & technique. I am so guilty of this, Raffaella ...

Woman with green pointed hood by Raffaella Matera

• The clean and crisp face, the slanted eyes, the distant, aloof, enigmatic, impavid look, remind us of the early Byzantine Madonna’s. The hood accentuates this sense, in spite of the wild strands of hair on the forehead, which seem so out of character, and an artist's ill-fated afterthought. There is a strong emotional component to which we respond spontaneously. We are moved and stirred. The artist has succeeded in touching us, and interacts with us, through her creation. It is sufficiently rare, to be applauded.

• Very Nice:

It made me think of one of those renaissance paintings yet the technique is more modern. It is really intriguing to see.

• I also like your recent work very much - in particular 'Woman with green pointed hood' - a very serene and beautiful work which reminds me of both Matisse and Modigliani.

• Hi Raffaella,
  
  A strong work with a powerful sense of serenity (and yet also loss) surrounding the figure. There is something of Modigliani in this. I also like the beckground technique very much. Your return to a more youthful style has been a great success!
  
  best wishes,

"Ancient Village"

• "Raffaella, I like this work, its colors...I wish I could be in this village right now! There is one thing I would like to know. Why the sky, and also the sea, are so dynamic and the middle of the painting, I mean the houses and the beach, are so static? Is this tumultuous sky so important to you? It catchs the viewer attention immediately, as if it were the most important subject on this painting... Best regards,

Raquel.

"The wide awake dawn"

• Raffaella, after your explanation I was able to understand why you gave more importance to the sky than to the rest of the painting in "Ancient Village." I believe that is more important expression than technique. However, in "The wide awake dawn" like in "Verso il mare" which I like very much (why do not submit this painting to this corner?) you keep the same concept in all the surface of the canvas, everything is harmonious: color, composition, brush stroke. Nice! Regards, Raquel

Aragon's Tower

Paintings as complex as the personality. . .

of the artist who creates them, and as beautiful! From what little I know about Raffaella Matera, I can sense the depth of her personality and passion as surely as I can see it in her work. These are not just pleasant images, they are a trophy for the owner to proudly display, for owning a piece of her art is surely to appreciate and cuddle with her aura.

The body of work that you have presented for review reveals a gestural and
expressive style of painting.  The images appear to reverberate with color,
motion, visceral nuance and emotional appeal. There exists an expressive
quality that is consistent throughout the entire presentation.  I
particularly like, The Pines Panama's St. in the Fog, although all of the
work is quite wonderful
