WOOD AND SOUL


PAOLO FRATTARI was born in Cerveteri -Italy- the 21st of february 1963 and still resides there. He completed his studies in Rome but he evolved  his natural propensity to wood carving within the cultural environment  of ancient Etruscan lands. It is during his teens that he felt the peremptory need to express himself through wood carving and sculpturing.In those years, while attending a variety of art clubs and work shops, he  completed a course of wood carving offered by the Province of Rome Department of Culture.Those were moments of great dynamism, he travelled alot throughout Italy and abroad, wich deeply influenced him to blend the various experiences and cosmopolitan realities to his own roots.With this spirit of yearning for knowledge he made his first steps inside the sculpting field and within the art galleries where he is continually held in repute. He currently teaches at the UPTER university of Rome
