“In reality my goal is not to lead the observer towards good or evil . I am an interpreter: I interpret what I feel and what I am experiencing in that moment. It’s as if there were a filter, everything I feel and experience is filtered onto the work . Clearly there is all the influence of good and evil, which can be seen through those symbols that I insert. I send messages through my works, but I do not try to teach the right path” (Roberto Ferri in an interview for KosmoMagazine)
