ProfiloRoberta Maddalena (aka Biró) nasce nel 1981. Si dedica al disegno fin da bambina, fermamente convinta di aver trovato la sua strada, ma la musica la porta a cambiare idea per alcuni anni. Oggi segni e suoni sono la sua linfa vitale, e, alchimia tra le due, un sottile strato di ironia.
Vive e lavora a Milano come illustratrice e graphic designer, collaborando con realtà professionali eterogenee.
Si è occupata di incisione calcografica, nei ruoli di artista e insegnante, e durante questa esperienza si è laureata in graphic design, specializzandosi successivamente in type design.
Attualmente il suo lavoro di illustratrice è fortemente legato alla calligrafia e all’hand-type (caratteri disegnati a mano).
È appassionata di culture extraeuropee e di etnomusicologia, interessi che hanno trovato forma concreta nel canto e nelle performance di suono+segno, portandola, parallelamente all’attività di illustratrice e grafica, a collaborare con diversi musicisti e artisti come performer.
| | ProfileRoberta Maddalena (aka Biró) was born in 1981. She has devoted herself to drawing since she was a child, firmly convinced that it was her calling. Music made her change her mind temporarily. Today, signs and sounds are her lifeblood… and a thin thread of irony the alchemy between them.
She lives and works in Milan as an illustrator and graphic designer. Heterogeneous situations incite her collaboration and the only chair on which she manages to sit for at least three consecutive hours is the one at her desk.
She has worked in calcography as an artist and teacher. During this experience, she graduated in Graphic Design, then in Type Design. Now she’s working as an illustrator with calligraphy and handmade type.
Once her scholar's schroll had been neatly put away, she moved to Milan. She studied for a long time traditions from the Far East and Ethnomusicology. So, in addition to wearing the smock of an illustrator and a designer, she cooperates as a performer with musicians and artists, working with signs and sounds.
