Not only living people do not hesitate to go out early in the morning to the clearing in the park, or to the clean grass of the stadium, or to the playground in front of the house, and do gymnastics or yoga. Sculptures by an Italian master Paola Epifani, known in creative circles under the pseudonym Rabaramaalso do crunches, squats and other exercises that the author forces them to do. Paris, Piedmont, Shanghai, Cannes and other cities and countries had the opportunity to personally get acquainted with the creations of the talented artist. A little over 40 years ago, Paola Epifani was born in the Italian capital, in the creative family of a sculptor and ceramic artist. Apparently, her family was written to continue the family tradition and bring art to the masses. And so it happened that since childhood Paola gravitated towards sculpture, took part in creative competitions, which she often won. The talented girl received her education at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, today she lives and works in the city of Padua, collaborates with art galleries, where from time to time she holds exhibitions of her works.
Paola Epifani creates sculptures from a variety of materials, ranging from metal and glass to marble and rubber. Huge human figures, sometimes covered with bizarre ornaments, sometimes painted in the form of a puzzle, sometimes speckled with letters, numbers, or even completely incomprehensible letters, require space, and therefore often flaunt on the ground in parks or on specially built pedestals. One of the sculptures, by the way, is in the permanent collection of the Italian Museum of Modern Art, and another was acquired at the request of the Chinese government, and now she lives in Shanghai in front of the city government building.
There is no explanation for Paola Epifani's outlandishly curved sculptures. But is it really necessary in order to form your own opinion about the unusual work of an unusual author? In addition to sculpture, Rabarama is engaged in painting and making jewelry. All of this can be seen on her website.
