Robert Minervini

Robert Minervini was born in 1981 in Secaucus, NJ and currently lives and works in Oakland, CA and Florence, Italy. In 2009 he received an MFA from The San Francisco Art Institute. His practice encompasses painting, printmaking, mural painting, and site specific public artworks, examining an evolving relationship between nature and culture through the depiction of spatial environments. He utilizes tropes from art history, science fiction, film, and references from quotidian life to depict places and spaces both real and imagined. 

The artist has exhibited nationally, and has painted multiple murals and public art commissions through the San Francisco Arts Commission, The Alameda County Arts Commission, and the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. He has been a resident artist at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, the Headlands Center of the Arts and the Vermont Studio Center.  Minervini’s work is included in the collections of the San José Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego.
