His practice explores identity, queerness, and the modern Australian experience through hand-built sculptural forms inspired by his Greek and Sicilian heritage. Recently, he has expanded into mosaic, following a research fellowship investigating traditional techniques in Italy. Blending classical motifs with personal and cultural narratives, his work reimagines heritage crafts through a distinctly local lens. Raphy has exhibited locally and internationally, including in Mexico City and Belgium, and was a three-time finalist in the Midsumma \u0026amp; Australia Post Art Prize.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003eHand made and cut ceramic tiles \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 \u003cspan\u003ex 40cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raphy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47941590286554,"sku":"C-RAP035","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0033\/5002\/files\/274_Craft_Felled_Product_2026_C_ARMSTRONG.jpg?v=1781054317","url":"https:\/\/shop.craft.org.au\/products\/raphy-colourful-cubes-mosaic-copy","provider":"SHOP@Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
