Raphy, painter
“Raphy's painting immediately grips the viewer with the perfection of the technique. Tasty material, without ever an exaggeration of thickness coming to taint with suspicion the play of highlights on tones obtained most often thanks to the skilful use of glaze. This masterful manipulation of color is just one of the many assets available to the author. His manual ease allows him to express without hesitation an inner poetry which, as far as we are concerned, has deeply touched us.
Michel Boutin - the Art Lover
The birth of stars
The moon told me one day
An die Musik
Raphy's works are executed in oil on canvas with a knife.
Self-taught, he developed his own style in his paintings, both abstract and figurative surrealist impressionist and in an explosion of colors.
His paintings have the theme of nature, life, the moon, the creation of the world, faith, music, birds, the wind, the sea, the storm, the inner journey.
Personal exhibitions in Paris from 1972, at the Salon des artistes Français for 10 years, in the provinces and in La Baule since 1984.
Mention at the Salon of French Artists, Prize of the European Academy of Arts, Signatures Prize - Violet Legion, Silver Medal of the City of Paris, Grand Prize of France for Plastic Arts, First Prize of the Biarritz Art Festival, Medal of Honor from the City of La Baule
The artist died in 2022 at the age of 95, continuing to paint until his last days.
He leaves behind a limited number of works, just over a hundred paintings made over a period of 60 years.
