Raffaele Rinaldi is a creative portrait photographer, defined by critics as a master of surrealism and conceptual photography. His conceptual photography applied to portraits, starts from environmental reflections and personal narrative.
At the JW Marriott are exhibited artworks from the “Sweet Beauty” and “Animal Beauty” projects ; photographic compositions created by the artist through unconventional juxtapositions.
The exhibited artworks are full of elements that while “losing” their identity change meaning.
The artist juxtaposes the model in his photos with a fruit or other objects that are usually found in other contexts, changing each time their meaning and “transforming” them into something other than their natural function.

Raffaele Rinaldi é fotografo di ritratto creativo, definito dai critici un maestro del surrealismo e della fotografia concettuale. Si tratta di fotografia concettuale applicata al ritratto, che parte da riflessioni ambientali e percorsi narrativi personali.
Al JW Marriott vengono esposti lavori dei progetti “Sweet Beauty” e “Animal Beauty”; composizioni fotografiche realizzate dall’artista attraverso accostamenti non convenzionali.
Le opere dei progetti esposti sono piene di elementi che “perdono” la loro identità e cambiano significato.
L’artista accosta alla donna, modella delle sue foto, un frutto o altri oggetti che generalmente si trovano in altri contesti cambiandone di volta in volta il significato, e “trasformandoli” in qualcosa d’altro rispetto alla loro naturale funzione.
