About This Project

 

Alinda Esmeralda Sbragia, known as Esme Sbragia, was born on October 23, 1999, in Rome. From a very young age, she exhibited a profound interest in drawing and the visual arts, developing a unique perspective: that of an observer who interpreted reality through her distinctive gaze. Her talent became apparent when a ceramics course not only contributed to her artistic development but also highlighted her creative nature, setting her Always in search of expressive techniques, she participated in various events, showcasing her early works.

Her educational journey led her to the Ripetta Art High School, where she specialized in hyperrealistic drawing, creating portraits and lifelike sketches. After high school, she continued her studies at the Rufa (Rome University of Fine Arts) academy in Rome. Here, she devoted four years to studying scenography, exploring areas such as 3D modeling, graphics, and architecture. During this time, she worked as a barlady in a cocktail bar and also interned as a social media manager and graphic designer for a foreign company. It was during this experience that she serendipitously discovered collage, an event that marked a turning point in her artistic career. At the age of 23, she earned her degree and decided to pursue a career as an assistant designer and renderer at an architecture studio.

However, during a period of both artistic and personal crisis, she made the bold decision to leave this path to focus on developing her collage technique, deepening her study of her grandmother’s work, Esmeralda Ruspoli, renowned for her collages. Although they never had the chance to meet, their shared passion for this art form seems to have deeply united them in the constant pursuit of authentic artistic expression. Her collages are crafted using graphic programs on a computer or tablet, then printed and cut into multiple parts. Finally, they are meticulously assembled with layers of plexiglass, giving them a three-dimensional effect that captivates the eye and stimulates the mind.
