Roberto Marra Is a Toronto-born artist who has studied art in both Italy and Canada. Since the mid-1990s, he has focused on paintings that can be described as modern and contemporary. His work primarily consists of bright, dynamic abstract paintings as well as highly textured mixed media work that walks a line between sculpture and painting. Over the years, Roberto’s work has been exhibited in collective and individual ‘shows’ in Italy and Canada. It is included in public as well as private collections and has been further included in, or on the cover of, numerous books of poetry in collaboration with the work of the authors. Roberto is also a published poet. He is the author of the long concrete poem The Word (Lyricalmyrical Press 2007) and a co-author of The Emu Dialogues (Quattro Books 2015).
