Marta Roberti
Brescia, 1977. Lives between Rome and Warsaw.
After completing a dregree in Philosophy in Verona, she stu-died Multimedia art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brera.
Drawing is her main medium which she uses in installations and animated videos through which she explores the relationship between East and West, studying and reworking myths and their representation. Through the use of copying paper, she creates images that are formed simultaneously on two sur-faces, one part remains imprisoned on the sheet of carbon paper while the other is transferred to the new support.
Marta Roberti’s work focuses on the role of women through an ecofeminist lens. She reinterprets myths and goddess ico-nography, giving voice to what has historically been margi-nalized: the feminine, nature, and the animal.l, proposing an identity in constant metamorphosis—open to care, reciprocity, and deep interconnectedness with all living beings.
