Nationale 7 (2011) Painting by Raoul Scipioni Guenancia

Born in 1961, I received a classical training from a prestigious Art School in Paris. (Penninghen School Met / Paris (ESAG) / ENSAD (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs) Degree / Paris. Today, at age 55, I am still working for an advertising company as a “roughman” (advertisement sketch artist) and I am now developing my second life through my paintings.
I practice as a painter since 2008 and I show my work since 2014. My painting studio is situated in Joinville-le-pont (2km from Paris)

• The first part of my work is a dreamlike look around Eternal Feminity. The tale start where the immediate meets the infinite, where precision merges with artistic blur.
It is a place where the search for happiness cloaks the reality of our unhappiness. Ultimately by drawing back from
the heart of the matter, we grow closer to futility ... and vice versa. / Oil on canvas in large format - Method of the glazing touch.

• The second part of my work recreate the codes of the portrait of today with the selfie. My EGO-PORTRAITS are narcissistic mirrors : they hold in the duration pictures, changing all the time. In the era of Snapchat filters and Photoshop retouching,
I want to introduce a look which shows it harshness with pride, without special effect. / Oil on canvas - The frames are made wooden painted
