"If you embrace the challenge of viewing Artwork as the amalgamation of all art disciplines, transcending the need to label a creation as a painting, a sculpture, a dress, or a design—if you can refrain from classification, then Artwork becomes an expression of art itself. In this paradigm, any method, any technique, any field of expression, and any cultural product can coexist and become one. My artistic creation possesses a dual nature, offering a twofold valence that can be appreciated aesthetically for visual pleasure or, alternatively, functionally as an object for everyday use. The research involved seeks to harmonize and reconcile opposites: geometric and shapeless, rough and smooth, dark and bright."
Artist-designer, Roberta Verteramo lives and works between Torino and London. She attended Art School at Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin and at Polytechnic Arts in Valencia. Her art sensibility was noticed by the Academy, that offered her a teaching position shortly after her graduation.
Later she became an international conservator of contemporary art, establishing the Triennale Museum laboratory in Milan, where she had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with internationally known artists and designers: Gaetano Pesce, Alessandro Mendini, Tomas Maldonado, Frank Gehry, Italo Rota, Fornasetti, and others. Her inspiration led her to design eclectic objects, which were presented at a private exhibition supervised by Philippe Daverio at Fuori Salone del Mobile 2011 in Milan. In 2014 she moved to London, where she has been active in the realm of luxury, crafting original and highly sophisticated artwork.
Since the early stages of her artistic life, Verteramo has been passionate about the design world. As an artist, she always tried to capture the essence of the various artistic expressions. From performances to paintings, from art-design to sculpture, she fluidly experimented all facets of visual art.
"I am deeply attuned to the theme of sustainability," asserts the artist. "While I embrace the use of precious materials such as resin or bronze, I meticulously select them for their quality, ensuring environmental inte- grity, and opt for processes rooted in sustainable circular systems.”
An indefatigable voyager, Roberta ceaselessly seeks fresh creative stimuli. She engages communities span- ning diverse cultures, arts, and traditions, heralding a new era of design marked by innovation and re- sponsibility. Her mission? To redefine the parameters of luxury, aligning them with ethical and social imperatives. Central to her vision is the preservation of natural resources and the promotion of knowledge exchange. Through art and dialogue with various ethnic groups, Roberta endeavors to revive and celebrate the "culture of nature.”
Roberta Verteramo’s vision transcends mere artistic expression, evolving into a lifestyle characterized by a delicate equilibrium between the authenticity of indigenous cultures and the opulence of luxury settings. Her innovative outlook is not confined to the aesthetics of her works but extends to a conscientious and collabo- rative approach in crafting a novel conception of luxury, enriched by human connections and social re- sponsibility.
Each of Roberta's creations embodies a harmonious fusion of cultural heritage and the refinement of pre- cious materials.
The artist maintains ongoing collaborations with numerous galleries 88Gallery-London; BABS-Milan, showcasing her limited-edition creations at premier international art-design fairs (PAD, Masterpieces, Miami design art Basel) and VIP lounges at boat shows.
Her philosophy resonates deeply with brands she has partnered with, such as Sanlorenzo Yachts, Bluegame, Baglietto, Visionnaire Home Philosophy and Ars Italica Caviar.
