สมเด็จพระเจ้าอยู่หัวมหาวชิราลงกรณ บดินทรเทพยวรางกูร รัชกาลที่ 10
His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua Bodindradebayavarangkun, King Rama 10
In this artwork, the artist Raffaele Ciotola represented in “Rock Art” style Rama X King of Thailand Rama X is THE 10th ruler of the Chakri dynasty.
The artist Raffaele Ciotola includes him as an international emblematic subject within the "Rock Art" movement where only famous people in the world are inserted. All this is done in full respect of their role and social positions.
The '' Rock Art Ciotola '' is an Artistic Movement born in 2018 created by Maestro Raffaele Ciotola. It aims to embellish famous people around the world in Rock style, with respect and without making fun of them. The style is to tattoo them especially from the shoulders towards the extremity of the neck to elevate their appearance to the highest aesthetic levels.
They also wear whimsical earrings that reflect the '' Rock Art Ciotola '' style, daring without ridiculing them but simply making them fascinating. Their media value is clear, the Pictorial Current categorically expresses the need to treat them with tact and elegance, responsibility and respect. If we talk about Rock Art Ciotola, I invite my future disciples to use this style by putting the value of the character in the first place and not to ridicule him and then offend him in the eyes of society or make a caricature of him to the point of diminishing the clear objective of the Pictorial Movement.

The '' Rock Art Ciotola '' does not offend, but enhances!
สมเด็จพระเจ้าอยู่หัวมหาวชิราลงกรณ บดินทรเทพยวรางกูร (พระราชสมภพ 28 กรกฎาคม พ.ศ. 2495) เป็นพระมหากษัตริย์ไทย รัชกาลที่ 10 แห่งราชวงศ์จักรี เสด็จขึ้นทรงราชย์เมื่อวันที่ 13 ตุลาคม พ.ศ. 2559 จนถึงปัจจุบัน และเป็นพระราชโอรสพระองค์เดียวในพระบาทสมเด็จพระปรมินทรมหาภูมิพลอดุลยเดช และสมเด็จพระนางเจ้าสิริกิติ์พระบรมราชินีนาถ
The artist Raffaele Ciotola was born in Naples on the 17th of October 1964. His loving and receptive family promoted his studies and supported supporting his artistic nature. He obtained the Artistic High School School graduation and got the Master of Arts degree at the state institute of Arts "Filippo Palizzi" in Naples in 1983. Since he was a boy he has been devoting his life to painting in a professional manner; after his debut in 1980 at an exhibition in his hometown, he kept on taking part in other collective and personal exhibitions set up in several Italian cities until 2002 (Piano di Sorrento, St. Anne in Naples, Milano, Viterbo, Milan). He was awarded the gold medal at the National Biennial of Sacred Art in Torre del Greco in 1980 by prof. Mr Franco Girosi, a famous Neaolitan artist of the last century. It was foundamental for his training, the meetings with prof. Mr Franco Girosi and with Mr Luigi Signore, an artist known as one of the best sculptors of cribs in Italy today.
He studied music and attended the voice class at the Conservatory of Naples, but the meeting he had in Rome in 1987 with Master Mr Renato Guelfi, opera singer and painter, was so crucial to his professional growth that he started performing as a singer in some Italian theatres (Lecce, Santa Maria di Leuca, Ronciglione, Villa Pignatelli in Naples). He got to obtained some rewards such as: the gold medal in "La Triade" Prize, Palazzo Sormani - Sala del Grechetto - Milano; the diploma of honor at St. Anastasia, Naples. His personal exhibition in Tuscia dates back to 2002 , in this occasion he exhibited for the first time at the Sala Anselmi in Viterbo. His painting style and production are characterized by an intense use of colours and by the chiaroscuro effects conveying a whole creative freedom and a boundless vital energy, without hiding any strong and eloquent emotion, leaving the viewer a hope, a light , the one that leads beyond any solitude and that blurs roles and social conventions.
In fact, from the late 90s, his work is more focused on topical issues and feels the effect of his civil commitment against homophobia and discriminatory behaviors, so it became a vehicle to spread some nonconformist messages, even inspired by universal ethical values. In 2003 he created the artistic movement called "Stop Homoph Art" which aims to spread the culture of respect and fight against homophobia. From this battle, "The Madonna of the homosexuals" came to life, it became the emblematic work of his production and will be exhibited for the first time in the foyer of the Mercadante Theater in Naples on the 18th of October 2014.
So his landscapes and his dreamlike hermetic metaphysical views of the first period, they have been gradually replaced by works full of reflection and judgment which are well received by public and by critics, attracting the attention of Mr Jean-Louis Cougnon, Chief Excecutive at General Managment of European Parliament.
In 2018 he created a second artistic movement '' Rock Art Ciotola ''. It aims to embellish famous people around the world in Rock style, with respect and without making fun of them. The style is to tattoo them especially from the shoulders towards the extremity of the neck to elevate their appearance to the highest aesthetic levels.
The work of art '' Italy Against Racism '' dedicated to the fight against '' Racism '' which was appreciated by correspondence by the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella.
