The artist Romano Sambati is in studio, working on surgically exhuming intimacy. And waiting. Bodies, moons, places, headless shrouds suspended in tragic falls; a classic, sacred sorrow clenching the stomach, a remote whisper that has nothing to do with the contemporary world... And all the while his passion burns impetuously without leaving any ashes, like a flame consuming everything, even itself. [mp]

Declaration
film director
“Sambati’s work stubbornly and proudly hurls itself beyond modernity, breaching the boundaries of visual arts and tarnishing the spirit, infecting it, like a timeless icon, pure and without any symbolisms. The modern world and all its instruments aren’t enough to decipher it; the eyes can only rely on the light of these cosmoses where nature attempts to indecisively depict the skies on its canvas: no opinion, no judgment, just the silence devoid of language, sunken in ancient times, mythical, cruel, and with proud brand cruelty.”
