Roberto Mora, born in Parma in 1964, lives and works in Sant’Ilario d’Enza, near Reggio Emilia. After beginning his career as a painter and graphic artist, he turned to the practices and theories of radical design in 1993, developing an autonomous design path. Iron became the primary material of his research: elements from diverse origins and forms are recovered and assembled, making recycling a central operational principle. His object-art pieces inhabit a space between function and formal distortion, characterized by a raw aesthetic that over time evolves toward greater lightness, transparency, reinterpretation, and a subtle ironic touch.
