Rabarama (Italian, 1969)

Paola Epifani, alias Rabarama, was born in Rome in 1969. She lives and works in Padova. Rabarama creates sculptures and paintings with men, women or hybrid creatures, often passing for the eccentric. The skin of the subject 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 is constantly changing, always adding new signs, symbols and metaphors.
