Self Portrait

I'm Raffaele. A 31 year old artist from Long Beach, CA. I've been studying art since I was 12. Parents and grandparent forcing me into summer art programs until high school. College was fun and I learned much in the 3 years I attended. Then I ended up needing cash and a place to live. That's when I dropped out. I take a class or two every year now. learning what I want and tossing out what I don't. I feel I have found my own style. I steal what I like from others and shape my own world. I think my work feels like a freeze frame from a Gregg Araki movie or a warped Lichtenstein piece. I love pop art. simple. in your face. it pops! I was a child of the 80's. My work sometimes shows women the way men saw them in ads. and on T.V. An object Not seeing a face .Just a body. The beautiful curves that demand to be worshipped. Feel free to contact me. I love a good critqiue. I want to show more and sell more. If you get a piece before I'm dead you might make some cash later.
