Raffaele Fiore was born in Striano on 13th August 1961. He made his appearance in the world of art and painting in Turin in the early 80s. At that time originality was the key word in the art world, which often led to a mere eccentricity.

Even at that moment Fiore was able to defend, without any vanity, his strong desire to represent reality bringing up-to-date the masters of the past. Year by year he has been improving his potentiality as a very gifted painter and he has been doing it through patient and constant study of colour, techniques, composition and light.

The values of this painter, who keeps on changing and rising day by day, are an undoubted talent and a strong ability in mastering painting techniques. He has reached this ability through a continuous practice and an inner search. His works have been appreciated from the very beginning of his career and they are part of many private collections. They are sold in Italy as well as abroad, especially in the USA and in Japan. They are also present every year at the most important national and international art shows.
