The Artist - UK (2021-04)

“The biggest challenge as a realist artist is to capture one's likeness while communicating passion

and emotion. "Just be Yourself" is a portrait of my father, a spontaneous and brilliant man. My father,

unlike most, never let the child inside him be silenced.

I knew that I could rely on Nitram's superior quality and consistency. Since discovering Nitram

charcoal, I have stopped using all other charcoal and graphite completely. When I use Nitram,

I know I have full control of the medium. I can achieve smooth, consistent tones and create highly

rendered finished pieces.”

~ Marco Feray Ridolfo

Marco Feray Ridolfo comes from Milan in Italy. As a son of an artist, Marco developed admiration and interest for classic art and portraiture since an early age. Marco received an academic

training in classic art at the Liceo artistico Caravaggio in Milan and kept expanding his knowledge by also attending the Atelier ‘Voli d’arte’ of the ‘Maestra’ Valeria Vieti in the province

of Monza. According to Marco’s opinion under the teachings of the Maestro Enzo Rossi (Bujinkan ninjutsu) to whom Marco will always be grateful and in the Atelier of the Maestra Valeria

Vieti he was shown and introduced to Art for the first time as he could literally breath, absorb and live what he feels is art to an invisible level as well as to a practical level and this was like

an initiation that changed completely his life. He currently lives and works in West Oxfordshire where he does commissioned portraits and bespoke pieces. http://www.feray-fineart.com
