Rabarama, pseudonym of Paola Epifani, (born August 22, 1969) is an Italian contemporary artist.[1]

Artistic practice

Rabarama creates sculptures and paintings of men, women and hybrid creatures, often in eccentric poses.[2][3] The skins of her subjects are always decorated with patterns, symbols, letters, glyphs and other kind of figures, in a great variety of forms.[4]

Public art and internet art

Rabarama monumental sculptures have been installed and exhibited in many public spaces[5], including:

  • Paris, Place de la Sorbonne, Rue Soufflot, Place du Pantheon
  • Reggio Calabria, seaside
  • Shanghai, People's Plaza
  • Miami, Mizner Park
  • Florence, Piazza Pitti- Giardino di Boboli-Giardino delle Scuderie Reali- Complesso Le Pagliere
  • Cannes, La croisette

Hi-tech and new media

In 2011 the world's first 360° video mapping on a sculpture was realized on a Rabarama's work called "Bozzolo" and exhibited live in Florence, Italy.[6][7]
