SCULPTURE IN ALABASTER AND RAW EARTH
Rooted in a ritual, sacred, and archetypal dimension, the creative process of Italian sculptor Roberta Busato centers on the care of the self and the powerful practice of self-awareness, being the cornerstone of both a personal journey and a deeply felt collective necessity. Her work becomes the language of the soul, expressing the inexpressible, resulting from a deep meditative journey to the abysses of the self.
Working by hand, Busato creates sculpture and bas-reliefs in raw earth and alabaster. Mythological stories of imagined creatures and spirits who live between worlds and time resonate perfectly with her creative vision, which blurs the boundaries between the humans, animals, and nature. In a delicate conversation between finished and unfinished forms. Each of her works features a combination of the anthropomorphic and surreal elements, inhabiting a liminal space. Within this threshold, all hybridizations and inner metamorphoses can occur, a fertile ground where the process of change unfolds and is completed.
