Clic. I've seen each canvas turn into full flowers.
What elegant silhouettes have been painted on these easels?
I put myself immediately into the shyness of seeing flowers, as if I could correct the shyness of the flowers, and as if I could even paint them in their silence.

Could this be the embryo of symbolism?
This is Roberto Rossi! He applies dangerous shades of green, close even to the silent danger. Hölderlin's silence and an almost minimalist silence of Fang, poetically blue.

How many pairs of eyes are there in Roberto Rossi's sight to read to the artist the expressionist lines of his art?

Read the songs of almost dichromatics maps indicating that his pictorial intuition pleases the most demanding eye, even when protecting his yellows in detriment of the drawing!

Reading his modern writing through the almost-abstract is also to see his tendency of self-incrimination for what Apollinaire would call flower barings.

Roberto Rossi is a painter who paints hardly silent flowers - flowers screaming out loud for the success that is waiting for them in our retinas!

It is necessary to read flowers...

Zé Augustho Marques Art Critic Poet and Writer

Roberto Rossi is an artist who has the rare privilege of painting as he wishes. He suffers no influence from a teacher nor a school. Nothing influences him when he catches the brushes for the simple pleasure of painting, except his deep love for his natal country: Brazil and its beautiful nature.

This vital happiness of "painting for pleasure" is perceived in all the paintings of this brazilian artist. His flowers, fruits, have the enchantment of spontaneity, happiness, deep human and spiritual beauty of this artist, coinciding with the colors of the romantic impressionist painters who seeked a new way of finding reality.

Roberto Rossi finds it in a singular and plastic way. Sincerity is the merit of his painting. Reflex of a sincere soul, wonder of a creative inspiration, owner of the color and suggestion, each painting is a whole universe of unique natural beauty.

The color brings you to a brazilian dream. It is not a coincidence that Roberto exposes at the gallery, located close to the Phillips Collection (first Modern Art Museum in the USA) where the inspirational aura of the poetry of the impressionist, romantic and modern art is still maintained. It is where Renoir and other french contemporary artists from the beginning of the century lived while in Washington.

The Gallery is located in the crossroads of the international embassies, representing the nations of the world, and close to Dupont Circle known as the Manifestations Center for the most radical social changes of this century.

Also close to Adams Morgan, the multicultural district and reflex of the global society where we live. No doubt, it is a privilege to have such a representative and charming artist in our Washington City.
