The work

Rabarama creates sculptures and paintings with humans, women or hybrid creatures, often going as far as the eccentric. The skin of the subjects created by the artist is always decorated with symbols, letters, hieroglyphs and other figures in a variety of forms. The “membrane,” the “mantle” that seems to envelop these figures is constantly mutating, always enriching itself with new signs, symbols and metaphors. The alphabet indicates the internal boundary present in language and our being singular-plural entities (according to the conception of the philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy): hieroglyphs, puzzles and bee nests are the visualization of the genome, the infinite combinations and possible variations inherent in humanity, visualized in the mental labyrinths in which the multifaceted complexity of the I is materialized.
His work is considered evocative and emotional, describing all the pains and joys of the human being, from slavery to freedom.
Thanks to his multifaceted talent, Rabarama experiments and creates, over time, terracotta works, classic and well-known painted bronzes, fascinating unique pieces in marble, glass and rare stones, resin inclusions, silicone resin monotypes, precious artist’s jewelry and, of course, also beautiful paintings and screenprints.

Rabarama

Rabarama, alias Paola Epifani, born in 1969 in Rome, is an artist who lives and works in Padua. A daughter of art, from a young age she showed a natural talent for sculpture. Rabarama began her training at the Scuola d’Arte di Treviso, then later at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia. In 2011 she participated in the 54th Venice Biennale with the monumental work Abbandono, created entirely in Carrara marble. In addition to this fundamental recognition, her works have been exhibited in the largest capitals of the artistic scene such as, among others, Paris, Florence, Cannes, Miami and Shanghai. Furthermore, her works have been acquired by important public and private institutions such as the Museum of Art of the Beijing Biennale, the Sculpture Space in Shanghai and the Copelouzos Museum in Athens, not to mention the three monumental works purchased by the Municipality of Reggio Calabria and exhibited on the Falcomatà waterfront. In 2015, Rabarama won the international competition organized by the Municipality of Vallo della Lucania (SA). Following this victory, Leud was created, the largest marble work ever created by the artist, which is now on display in the characteristic historic center. Also unforgettable is the artistic collaboration and partnership with Cirque du Soleil. Currently, Rabarama lives and works in Padua, autonomously managing his career and collaborating internationally with important art galleries in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, England, Turkey, Switzerland and the United States.
