Flavia Robalo imprints memory and intimate lived experiences onto wood. Her hand carved sculptures are vessels that both project and invite introspection, asking us to pause and sense the altering states of urgency and calm that vibrate from them.
Her work exudes an inner strength belied by their delicate appearance, seemingly in a state of transience ready at any moment to take on a new life.
Flavia was born in Buenos Aires in 1973 and attended the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredón from 1994 to 1996, the Argentine school of fine arts which has produced many renowned artists since its inception in 1940. After gaining a degree in psychology Flavia moved to Pietrasanta, Italy in 1997 to pursue her work as a sculptor. She has participated in solo and group shows across Europe and South America winning several awards along the way. Flavia currently lives and works in Pietrasanta.
