Il fondatore
Progettista, artista e curioso per vocazione.
La storia di Roberto
Osservare, sporcarsi le mani, ricominciare
Born in Capua
I was born in Capua in 1969 and, even today, I find it hard to separate my work from my curiosity. After all, for me, creating has always been this: observing the world, letting myself be intrigued by things and trying to transform them into something new.
I work as an interior designer in my shop-laboratory, a place that over the years has become much more than a workspace. It is my little creative universe, where I design, build, experiment and let myself be surprised by what can emerge from a material, a color or an idea that, at least at the beginning, does not yet know exactly where it wants to go.
The Boy Who Invented
I believe my relationship with art began long before I knew what art really was. As a child, I was drawn to colors, shapes, and the possibility of transforming things. I liked inventing, getting my hands dirty, provoking, and involving others in my ideas.
Come to think of it, not much has changed: I've grown up, but that child is still here, probably with more tools at my disposal.
Space as Scenography
My training began with my studies in surveying and developed through interior design. Two paths that taught me to look at space with care, without sacrificing imagination.
I like to think of environments as stage sets and the objects that inhabit them as presences capable of telling a story, evoking emotions and, why not, bringing a smile.
Without choosing a single path
Over the years, I have explored different languages and materials: painting, sculpture, set design, paper, clay, comic book art, and even theatrical makeup. I have never felt the need to choose just one path.
On the contrary, it is precisely the freedom to move from one technique to another, to make mistakes, change direction, and start over that fuels my exploration.
The oxidized iron discs
Among the works I am particularly attached to are the discs in oxidized iron sheet metal created for the facade of the Casa della Divina Misericordia in Capua. I was fascinated by the idea that a seemingly flat surface could be transformed through the gaze of the observer, gaining depth and revealing something different with every encounter.
Linguaggi e materiali attraversati
- Pittura
- Scultura
- Scenografia
- Carta
- Creta
- Disegno fumettistico
- Make-up per il teatro
I like to think of a work of art not as something static and definitive, but as a presence capable of changing, at least a little, depending on who looks at it.
Dalle sue mani
Le Mater sono nate così
Roberto prende la forma delle antiche Madri di Capua e la trasforma, liberamente, con il colore e la fantasia. Ogni Mater è dipinta a mano, ed è un pezzo unico.
