Giuseppe Ragazzini, The Artist:
Painter, set designer, and visual artist Giuseppe Ragazzini was born in London in 1978. After earning a degree in Philosophy, he became fascinated by the vision of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s documentary Le Mystère Picasso, and in 2002 began using digital techniques to film the creative process of producing the pictorial image. Dedicated to both painting and pictorial animation, Mr. Ragazzini has developed his own technique for pictorial animation and digital set design, which makes use of huge videoprojections and “mapping.” In his work, the image becomes subject to an incessant transformation from the permanence of its preceding elements—a flux, a digital collage of elements continuously superimposing over themselves.
His set designs and projections have been displayed across Europe in theatres including Milan’s Piccolo Teatro Strehler and Venice’s Teatro La Fenice.
His animations have been featured in several of the main international animation festivals.

In September 2014 he realized the video set design for the opening gala of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Lincoln Centre.

In July 2015 “La Dolce Vita, the music of Italian cinema” was put on stage at the 58 Spoleto Festival.

Ragazzini’s paintings and illustrations have been displayed in international exhibitions, collections, galleries, books, and periodicals, and he collaborates with the newspapers La Repubblica and Le Monde. Giuseppe Ragazzini is the son of the Italian photographer Enzo Ragazzini. He lives and works in Milan.

Artwork:

With the artwork "Al di qua", the Artist expresses a new symbolic dimension/illusory destination through the tear. Suggestion is to research beauty, happiness and pleasure dimensions, daily, in this life. This is embodied by one of Raffaello's 3 Graces.



I Puri Merlot 2012:
I Puri is a pure grape varietal wine in limited edition. A tale of essence and care, with continual research for perfection, dedicated to enhancing aromas and flavours of this terroir.

Merlot was selected for vintage year 2012 in only 2263 numbered bottles.
