ABOUT US

 

Robberto Atzori and Milena Caldararo Atzori are an accomplished duo of visual artists based in Ghent, Belgium, with a specialization in blending painting and sculpture with textiles and embroidery. Their work is characterized by an exploration of the relationship between society and individual obsessions, fears, and passions, as well as the tension that arises from opposing forces. Through their creative process, they produce immersive universes that engage multiple senses and offer a unique perception of each stimulus.

​

Robberto Atzori, born in Cagliari, Italy in 1989, focuses on the points of contact between the mystical and the profane, the waking and the oneiric, and life and death. He graduated from Antwerp and Rome’s Art Academy in 2012 and has since collaborated with various artists in Italy and California, helping to produce exhibitions for galleries and museums. His work is characterized by a DIY-inspired approach and a deep commitment to exploring the human experience through artistic expression.

​

Milena Caldararo Atzori, born in Chiaromonte, Italy in 1988, began sewing at the age of three with the elderly women of her village. Her work reflects an intense political approach and a belief that artistic practice is an evolution of craftsmanship. She graduated in Photography and Cinema from the Academy of Arts and Performing Arts in Rome in 2010 and has collaborated with various fashion ateliers such as Valentino and NATAN. In December 2017, she created the project NEPENTHES with Robberto, which combines traditional sewing and embroidery techniques with contemporary painting and sculpture.

​

Together, the Atzori duo's work draws on various aspects of universal and social memory, including dreams, esotericism, instincts, religion, and magic. They investigate the incessant struggle between life and death, science and mysticism, materiality and spirituality, and the tension that arises from the exact balance between their collaboration.
