Opera Artwork

Very primitive, very conceptual, very abstract, very spacious; a magnetism of a graphical design that fascinates and pervades the formative journey of Roberto Lalli. “Artifex” of the subject and color, he leaves the path taken by his loved maestros: Tapies, Burri, Rothko, Capogrossi.. as he himself listens to his “Roman” soul. A Roman of 7 generations who carries the genes of the Eternal City. His story can be traced back to a young age when he was always active and committed to the daily restoration of frescoes and sculptures. His enthusiastic attendance of craftmen’s workshops made him love the instruments of the arts and revealed to him the alchemy of colors. Today- soils, metals, pigments, woods, cartouches and fabrics have become narrative elements in the hands of the craftsman. For the artist his every opera is a wall; a wall that becomes imaginary where the master leaves the beholders the freedom to interpret his work according to their emotions. In this way, the spectator becomes a testimony of an evocative and cathartic journey. The canvas becomes the door that descends into the darkest and lightest part of his soul, a door that takes one back from a journey, sometimes rough sometimes celestial, in search of the origin of everything.
