關於
被喻為「重現義大利文藝復興」的紙塑藝術家莎賓娜.費洛奇（Sabina Feroci）出生於義大利中北部佛羅倫斯，在義大利、愛爾蘭完成插畫設計學業，有過劇場舞台道具設計經歷的她擅長使用紙塑，創作出線條簡單的孩童雕塑作品，細膩的肢體以及表情神韻，帶給人純真的感受。莎賓娜・費洛奇曾說過「書本創作歷史，而我們是歷史的產物」，他認為紙充滿可塑性，能夠被再度修復，如同人體的肌膚令人著迷。「紙」在這之中，更成為探索記憶的最佳媒介，能夠進入人的內在，難以成文的邊境。
莎賓娜的雕塑以人的表情作為感情主軸，以女性特有的觀點，手工打造出自己對小人物生命的描畫，尤其孩子般的作品形象，充滿能量，展現童年最無憂無慮的記憶，和人類接觸接觸世界最初的階段，去蕪存菁的呈現出新的語彙。
橫跨十多年來觀察Sabina Feroci的風格演變， 費洛奇嘗試從多階色彩的描述、符號的運用、以及形體的掌握，她一直期待自己是單純又自在地沉浸在藝術創作之中，就像她如此喜愛徜徉在卡拉拉大海的懷抱與大自然的溫暖之中。
Sabina Feroci, known as the "reincarnation of the Italian Renaissance" paper sculpture artist, was born in Florence, in the central-northern region of Italy. She completed her studies in illustration and design in Italy and Ireland and had experience in theatre stage prop design. Skilled in using paper sculpture, she creates simple yet expressive sculptures of children, capturing delicate body language and expressions, evoking a sense of innocence.
Sabina Feroci once said, "Books create history, and we are products of history." She believes that paper is highly malleable and can be repaired, much like the human skin, which fascinates her. In this process, "paper" becomes the ideal medium for exploring memories, delving into the human inner self and reaching the boundaries that are difficult to express in words.
Her sculptures center around human emotions, particularly from a female perspective. She meticulously crafts her portrayal of little characters' lives, especially children, infusing them with energy and presenting the purest memories of carefree childhood and the initial stages of human interaction with the world, creating new expressions that highlight the essence.
Over the span of more than a decade, observing Sabina Feroci's evolving style, she has experimented with various color descriptions, the use of symbols, and mastering forms. She always aspires to immerse herself purely and freely in artistic creation, much like her enjoyment of wandering in the embrace of the Carrara sea and the warmth of nature.
