Misticismo Visivo is the ongoing research of Riccardo Casinelli, a visual artist working at the edge of legibility. Signs, forms, symbols and colours are his raw material: not to be decoded, but to be stood in front of. Each image hovers between a letter and a creature, an object and an omen — close enough to be recognised, far enough to resist explanation.

His practice moves in two directions at once: towards understanding, and towards the moment it fails. He is drawn to what happens when meaning almost arrives: the pause of recognition, the doubt, the small vertigo of not knowing what you are looking at. Understanding and misunderstanding are not opposites here, but two ways of looking, and the work lives in the space between them.

Since 2020 this research has taken shape in ROMBO™ (●_●), an ongoing exploration of monsters and visual perception. They are not drawn so much as perceived: they appear the moment the eye decides there is someone there. Based in Rome, he is also co-founder of Studio Mistaker, where the same curiosity meets graphic design, infographics and motion.
