El Paisaje

Raúl Conti, born in 1931 in Morteros, Córdoba, Argentina, is a celebrated artist known for his paintings and sculptures that blend modern influences with deep-rooted Latin American symbolism. He studied under esteemed mentors Alfredo Lazzari and Juan Grela, developing a unique artistic voice influenced by pre-Columbian art and modern masters such as Giorgio Morandi. A recurring motif in Conti’s work is the depiction of four-fingered hands, a reference to Tiahuanaco mythology. This symbolizes generosity—giving without the ability to take—reflecting a profound humanistic perspective. His work often explores themes of heritage, memory, and identity, using bold forms and rich textures to convey emotion and storytelling. Conti’s art has been exhibited internationally, gaining recognition for its ability to bridge historical traditions with contemporary expression. His paintings and sculptures can be found in prestigious collections and galleries worldwide, making him a significant figure in the Latin American art scene.
