In ancient times Roman sculptures which we think were white, were very colorful. With the work "Hercules" I wanted to give the sculpture a different color from the white we are used to and from the original color. A color and contemporary shapes to bring an ancient sculpture into dialogue with today's elements.2022.

Jacopo Truffa.
Jacopo Truffa (Rome, 1987) began his artistic career by studying production design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, working simultaneously as assistant to the sculptor Alfiero Nena and as set designer. His work, which ranges from sculpture to video making, finds its most complete realization in the era of digitalization, with 3D printing. From the encounter with digital art, Jacopo Truffa’s works are transformed into "repeatable and democratic" objects, thanks to their serial nature, but unique in their production process. The works, in fact, play on elements of everyday life, included in the world of social media and communication, exploiting symbols and elements of an imaginary between playful and social criticism.
