Marta Roberti

Marta Roberti (Brescia, Italy, 1977) is a visual artist based in Rome whose practice explores the intersection of art, philosophy, and ecology. Working across drawing, animation, video, and installation, her work investigates relationships between humans, animals, and natural environments, weaving together scientific observation, mythological imagery, and ecological narratives. Roberti holds a Master’s degree in Philosophy of Language from the University of Verona and a Master’s degree in Art and New Technologies from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She also completed a second-level Master’s degree in Art, Architecture and Territory at Roma Tre University in collaboration with the Brera Academy. Her philosophical background informs a research-based practice that combines visual experimentation with reflections on biology, interspecies relations, and cultural cosmologies. Through intricate hand-drawn processes and animation, Roberti creates visual ecosystems in which human, animal, and vegetal forms intertwine, suggesting alternative ways of understanding nature and coexistence. Her works often engage with themes such as transformation, biodiversity, and the symbolic systems that shape how cultures interpret the natural world. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Fondazione Pastificio Cerere (Rome), Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts (Taipei), Chinese Culture University (Taipei), and Galleria Doppelgaenger (Bari). She has also exhibited at institutions including the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art (Rome), MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, Zoma Museum (Addis Ababa), and Taipei Contemporary Art Center. Roberti has participated in international residencies such as Swatch Art Peace Hotel (Shanghai), Taipei Artist Village, and Taroko Artist Residency (Taiwan). Her work was selected for Cantica21 – Dante, a project promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture.
