studied graphic arts in Italy and had an extensive career in the printing and imaging industry. In 2010 Roberto traded his digital world for the ancient art of mosaics and in 2022 he is exploring the complex art of copper plate etching printing. With his graphic background, Roberto works in a contemporary style creating works that express incredible dimension and a powerful organic feel. Roberto has received awards at several art shows and has exhibited his mosaics in Toronto and Florence, Italy.
