Rabarama
Sculpture works
Rabarama creates sculptures and paintings with men, women or hybrid creatures, often passing for the eccentric. The skin of the subjects created by the artist is always decorated with symbols, letters, hieroglyphics and other figures in a variety of forms. The 'membrane', the 'cloak' that seems to envelop these figures constantly changes, always enriching itself with new signs, symbols and metaphors. The alphabet indicates the inner limit present in language and our being singular-plural entities (according to the philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy's conception): hieroglyphs, puzzles and honeycombs are the visualisation of the genome, the infinite possible combinations and varieties inherent in humanity, visualised in the mental labyrinths in which the multiform complexity of the ego is materialised.
