roberto

The portrait of Roberto emerges not from the lines that are drawn, but from the spaces left untouched. His head, complete with mustache, appears in the absence of the pattern, reminding us that form is as much about what is not there as what is.

By carving a figure out of emptiness, the work plays with presence and absence. Sometimes identity is not built by adding more, but by leaving room for what is already there to be seen.
