Roberto Zambiasi

Born in January during a period of heavy snowfalls, I was captured by this white layer that covers every flaw, drawing enchanting shapes. Since I was a child, I’ve used to go out to watch the flakes falling down, that’s why snow inspired a lot of my works. Inspiration for my art comes also from nightscapes with faint lights, streetlamps, moonbeams or simply lights of cars passing by. I often capture pictures during the day and turn them into nightscapes on canvas. My paintings aim to create atmosphere rather than realism.
I’m currently living and working in Bolzano (Italy).

Born in 1969 in Brixen (Italy), I’ve been drawing since I was a child. Art has always played a big role in my life but unfortunately I’ve studied economics at high school, today I would choose otherwise.
1993-2001
I’ve been working for a glass company and was involved in the production of artistic glass fusion and mosaic.
1999-2007
Spent these years in the music business as composer and guitarist for the ska band Club99. I’ve drawn some illustrations for the band. After having recorded two original albums and played a few hundred live shows I left the band to become a painter.
2008-2016
Painting has become as important as my music career. I attended painting courses and joined a painting group, I’m still part of.
