ROBERTO SPORTELLINI
Was born in Marsciano, in the Perugia province, in 1961, April 23rd.
He started his artistic experimentation in 1976, adopting the technique of watercolours that he continued to use side by side with pencil drawing for some more years.
His artistic training to become a professional was entirely private but also shaped and influenced by the frequentation of the artistic milieu of Perugia up to 1984 when he joined a group exhibition at the Ipso Art Gallery in Perugia. During this same period for about a couple of years he attended the studio of a Florentine painter, where he studied in depth the different techniques of drawing, oil painting and mural painting. In 1985 he received the " Bologna d'Oro International Award for Literature and Art" and, the following year, the "International Award for Life" at the Campidoglio Palace in Rome.
Later on he concentrated on some experimental techniques consisting in "installations" where painting is combined with the assemblage of recycled materials and he subsequently participated to the International Trade Fair of Contemporary Art known as "Expo Arte", a section of Levante Fair in Bari, and to the group exhibitions "Anteprima" in Corciano and "Ecovoce" at the Palazzo della Penna in Perugia.
In 1997 he participated to the 2nd edition of the "Trevi Flash Art Museum Award" and in 1998 to the 1st edition of the "International Biennial of Contemporary Art" that took place in that same museum and then to several more exhibitions held in private spaces or galleries. In the following years he lived another long period of experimentation and research that resulted in more than 300 pen-and-ink and pencil sketches dedicated to the feminine figure. This latter experience became a fundamental step in the following evolution of his art that eventually concentrated on hyper realistic style pertaining on the everyday subjects of landscape and human figure.
He presently lives and works in Perugia.
