Hey, my name is Roberta and I’m a sculpture student at VŠVU/AFAD, based in Bratislava, Slovakia.

My practice explores the intersection of architecture and material experimentation. I work with natural and industrial materials such as travertine, clay, plaster, cement, and metal. I’m interested in their internal structures, limitations, and transformations, drawing inspiration from natural processes like erosion and long-term exposure to external forces. These interventions reveal hidden layers and reshape solid forms into new visual and symbolic expressions.

I use industrial techniques such as sandblasting, drilling, welding, and imprinting to deconstruct and reconfigure surfaces, balancing precision with unpredictability. This tension between control and chance reflects cycles of decay and resilience, grounding my work in material memory and subtle architectural references.

My work captures the tension between stability and change, reflecting the evolving relationship between people, materials, and the environments they inhabit.
