Note:

Ricardo Cinalli is an internationally-renowned Argentine artist. His paintings reveal a fascination with perspective and the human form that is indebted to the classical tradition and Old Masters painting. A further source of inspiration is the work of the Surrealists, which imbues Cinalli’s work with a distinctly metaphysical quality.Cinalli initially studied Psychology and Philosophy in Argentina, before relocating to London to study art. Over a thirty-year career he has exhibited internationally, and has fulfilled commissions for murals and designs for the theatre.
