Roberto Pare Cameroon, 01/01/1998
Roberto Pare was born in Cameroon in 1998 and from the first years of school he became passionate about drawing. The first contact with art took place at the Lyceum where he met the Portuguese painter Manuel, then continued his studies at the Foumban Institute of Fine Arts, where he obtained a professional diploma in plastic arts.
His art is characterized by the skilful use of color with which he is able to enhance and highlight the subjects of his artworks.
In Roberto Pare's first production you can see scenes of everyday life or fashion poses taken from fashion magazines and reworked according to his hyper-colored style.
Roberto Pare's artistic experimentation, in his latest and successful series, has evolved through the reworking of the great masterpieces of the past from Jan Van Eyck to Manet where the iconic images of these masters have been revisited by Pare, who through the skilful use of color and the inclusion of typical African elements such as wax fabrics and tribal masks has re-appropriated those works, now a world heritage site.
The artistic practice of reusing found objects and recycling materializes in a conceptual form, precisely through the recovery of those images and a personal reinterpretation and reworking of those forms, which with a skilful lively use of color and chromatic contrast become the protagonists of the painting and makes us affirm that Roberto Pare is certainly one of the most interesting and promising emerging artists on the African art scene.
