Romeo Dobrota Discusses Sculpture, Byzantine Art, and Cosmic Themes in Singulart Interview
In a recent conversation with Singulart Magazine, artist Romeo Dobrota shares insights into his creative process, which fuses sculpture, vibrant colors, and cosmic motifs to delve into themes of healing and reality. A month ago, he reestablished his partnership with Singulart, expressing that selling art online poses more difficulties compared to physical exhibitions. Dobrota's artistic journey began in the 1980s in Timișoara, Romania, where he studied sculpture, later exploring mosaic art in Israel and Jordan, and Byzantine art at the St. Vladimir Institute in Toronto. His creations incorporate 3D features, organic bee wax, and 24K gold leaves, drawing inspiration from ancient Egyptian methods. He notes the contrasting preferences of American and European collectors. Influenced by Michelangelo and Van Gogh, Dobrota seeks to offer liberation and healing through his work.
