With great sculptural skill, Flavio Robalo creates an atmospherically dense cosmos centered on female figures that seem dreamlike and immersed in themselves. In formal terms, she develops her protagonists in the field of tension between movement and pause. Behind each work lies a fictional story. The artistic interest is not so much in the telling per se, the depiction of certain incidents, but rather in the exploration and visualization of deep human emotions such as vulnerability, strength, freedom or loneliness. Robalo's works refer to an existential dimension: they can be understood as the essence of being human that has become material.
