Andrea Ravo Mattoni

Italian

Born in Varese, Italy, Andrea Ravo Mattoni is a contemporary and street artist known for reinterpreting classical masterpieces on building facades. Replacing brushes with spray cans, Ravo brings a modern twist to classical art, transforming traditional art into dynamic public expressions of creativity. His artistic journey took a pivotal turn when he shifted focus from contemporary art to reviving classicism. Drawing inspiration from the great masters, Ravo reimagines these timeless works as social art, making them more accessible to modern audiences. Blending the elegance of classical art with a signature technique he calls micropointillism, Ravo challenges traditional boundaries to present interpretations that re-contextualize these pieces in the public sphere resulting in a dynamic fusion of the classical and the modern.
