Raffaella Usai

Born in the picturesque landscapes of Sardinia, she discovered her deep passion for art at a young age, immersing herself in canvases and colors that soon became her expressive language. After years of travel that enriched her perspective and inspiration, she eventually settled in Florence—a city steeped in history and artistic tradition—where her creative journey took a significant leap forward.

She works primarily with acrylic and oil, exploring both the intricate realism of nature and the vibrant energy of color. Her work is a continuous search for beauty, which she captures on canvas through an intense, personal palette. Each piece reflects her unique and intimate vision of beauty, shaped by emotion, contrast, and depth.

Her paintings often feature human faces and bodies in motion, telling stories that reveal fragility, strength, fear, and courage. Through her art, she invites viewers on a journey into the human soul—a moment of reflection on the emotions that make us who we are.

An award-winning artist, she had the honor of exhibiting at the London Biennale 2023—an achievement that gave new momentum to her artistic exploration and her desire to communicate emotion through painting.
