“Raphael Reizel enters into the ancient myth to come out of it with a contemporary one, through sculptures apt to transcend myth itself and proceed beyond . Not yet satisfied, she herself questions the myth.” ( Stefania Barile ). “Raphael’s well-shaped and measured figures stand on this side of playful baroque, just as on the other side of the incisive impulse of expressionism....they are loaded with a tangible and absolutely anti-rhetorical oneiricity.... Our sculptress opts not for single figures, but for the couple. She sets the bodies in a confrontation, makes them interact like a plastic dyad, without the possibility to dissociate them, not even mentally.” (Riccardo Barletta)
