Jolie nuance

Elegance and fierceness, softness and aggression emerge from the intertwined forms, culminating in a torsion that channels the entire work into a sharp, snarling beak. 

Smooth and rough surfaces alternate and complement one another. From an amorphous and soft mass comes the unexpected birth of a pointed hook of refined nature, which does not betray the overall meaning of the sculpture. 

Distinctive and indefinable, this work possesses both the sweetness of feeling and the determination of an eagle.

Raffaella Robustelli was born in Ravenna and currently lives in Verona. Painting and sculpture have always been central interests in her life. After graduating in Economics, she chose to follow her true passion by enrolling at the Academy of Fine Arts in Verona. 

At the same time, she worked in several ateliers in Carrara, where she began her experience with marble — a material that later became central to her artistic practice. 

For years she has exhibited in major Italian and international cities, establishing herself through exhibitions, symposia and competitions.
