The search for eternity through marble
- • Fabio grew up immersed in the Roman Baroque
- • He discovered marble in Carrara after graduating
- • He was an assistant to the sculptor Igor Mitoraj
Fabio Pessimo Rebora spent his childhood in Rome, close to the remains of the great vestiges of this ancient city. The sense of eternity of art and of the human condition leave an indelible mark on him, he says. In 1992 he studied painting at the Wimbledon School of Art in London, and then attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and in Carrara, famous in the world for its marble quarries. Here Fabio discovered marble, which preserves visible traces of the sculptor's intelligence and gestures. He began his apprenticeship in sculpture studios in Pietrasanta, first as a copyist of historical works, then as an assistant to the great sculptor Igor Mitoraj. In 2008, Fabio opened his own sculpture studio in Carrara, where he creates works of his own design, mainly on commission and site-specific.
