THE PROCESS
Boffo’s art speaks of her quest for freedom and peace, highlighting its therapeutic and meditative power. In her process of creation, Italian Artist Roberta Boffo becomes a vessel bringing a projection of her mind and all its secrets to life, whilst nourishing peace back into herself.
“I am at the mercy of my emotions and moods most of the time. It can be so frustrating, but when I make art, I cease to exist, my emotions become quiet and, in that process, I become numb, I succumb to a dark, sunken place. It is only in this place where my emotional self ceases to exist, and all that is in my head, my heart and my subconscious just flows onto the paper. I love this feeling, because in my art I stop being who I am and I become all sorts of things: I become a language that only I can speak, I become symbols that only I can understand. I become simplicity, the ultimate simplicity. I reside in one state only: I am peaceful.”

PEACEFUL COLOURS
Since an early age, Boffo was drawn to the color black and now after many years, she realizes that her crave for a balance between black and white is the driving force behind the desire to instill balance in her own life.
“Black and white and the degree of greys that I achieve in my works with just a pen or a brush are all I need to feel at peace. I am drawn to my art; it feels like decluttering my soul and mind. I also love being surrounded by my artworks. I find that seeing the results of my own creativity is very inspiring to the making of new work.”
THREE KEYS: SIMPLICITY, CHALLENGE & EFFORT
“There are three elements that are the cornerstones of each work: simplicity, challenge and force. I always look at my art as the simplest of all things and it is that hidden simplicity that allows for such intricacies and laborious journeys. I always seek challenge: growth happens when you are placed under pressure, that is where transformation and evolution begin. Finally, I believe in maximum effort. With force and intensity the body as well as our abilities expand, hatching out of their current state to become stronger, fitter and greater.”
Roberta Boffo (b. 1986) is an intuitive Italian artist based in the small town of Motta di Livenza, in Treviso, Italy. Her medium of choice is ink on paper and acrylic on canvas; her practice includes various techniques interlaced into highly detailed, subtly mind-boggling, monochromatic artworks that are a window into her horror vacui and her obsessive love for simplicity, challenge and the space between pain and pleasure.
