Rosa Canfora has an artistically versatile personality, expressed through abstract sculptures or portraits as well as engravings of different materials such as zinc in etching and wood in xyloghaphy.
Her versatility is characterized by a feverish research in several techniques, an urge to explore the expressive potential provided by the material. As in jewels, this search reaches "beyond" technique.
"Maldarno" and "Mater Maiora", the latest big engravings on painted wood, actually spring from an estrangement of the ancient role of xyloghaphic matrix and stand alone as self-contained "accomplished works".
Her research is subjected to the expression of contents concerning archetypes, which she constantly pursues.
