Roberto Budicin

Roberto Budicin was born in Trieste in 1980. He began studying portraiture at the age of sixteen at the atelier of the painter Walter Falzari, heir to the Venetian and Austrian realistic painting tradition consolidated in Trieste, towards the beginning of the twentieth century, thanks to masters such as Giovanni Zangrando and Carlo Wostry. He learned the drawing and composition techniques from his father Sergio, also a professional painter in the field of illustrations and figurative animalist painting. He subsequently dedicated himself to a personal study lasting about ten years focused on the techniques of the masters of the seventeenth century such as Velasquez and Rembrandt and of the nineteenth century such as J. Sargent and J. Sorolla.

He began exhibiting in 2007 in group exhibitions and subsequently in several solo exhibitions in Trieste (Galleria Tribbio 2012, 2014, 2016 - Galleria Comunale 2013 - Glam Art 2019), Venice (Galleria Melori 2013), Udine (Galleria la Loggia 2012) National Wildlife Gallery Fort Myers Florida (2015). His paintings are present in private collections in Italy, Germany, England and the United States.

Budicin uses traditional techniques and materials, following procedures recovered and completed by himself starting from original sources of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This guarantees his paintings an intrinsic quality, in terms of harmony of colors and brilliance, very similar to the realist and impressionist painting of the past.
