Paola Epifani, widely known as Rabarama, is an Italian artist renowned for her distinctive sculptures. Born in Rome and based in Padua, she is the progeny of an artist and has demonstrated a natural talent for sculpture from an early age. Rabarama’s works are characterized by their expressive human figures, often depicted in eccentric poses and adorned with a vibrant tapestry of colorful patterns.
These patterns are not merely decorative but are composed of symbols, letters, and hieroglyphics that serve as a unique language, imbuing each piece with its own narrative. The intricate designs that cover the skin of her subjects represent a “membrane” or “cloak” that is ever-evolving, symbolizing the complexity of human identity and the myriad of influences that shape our existence.
