About his Art

Painter Elvio Ricca was born in Rho/Milan (Italy) on 9 March 1954 and has lived in French-speaking Switzerland since 1976.
Self-taught and an experimenter, he began painting at the age of 17 and still keeps the gaze of a child who discovers and marvels every day.

He sees beyond the dull surface of things and endlessly recreates the perfection of original life.
His path begins with figurative art and then continues with surrealism.

He denies himself nothing in order to express himself and learn, until he arrives at what we can now consider his hallmark: the scaled sequence of supple forms of his own pure invention and the ever-present rolling spheres that absorb and/or diffuse light like little suns, as if a gentle call to life, to rationality, to harmony, to what remains unchanged in time and space.

The shapes he draws are soft, sinuous, mysterious, always in motion, like a script suggested by the images of his subconscious—an exclusive yet infinitely varied expression whose aim is to translate ideas into images.
