About this artwork
This painting, titled "The Ugly Duckling," captures the heartwarming moment when the duckling, now a graceful swan, has found his kind. He stands among a flock of elegant white swans, always smiling, a reflection of the joy that comes from finding one's true tribe.
The fairytale tells the story of a plain-looking, little white bird. The yellow ducklings around him do not accept him, so he embarks on a journey to find a home, but he does not seem… to fit in anywhere. Eventually, he discovers a flock of kind white swans who accept him.
This painting embodies the transformative power of belonging and the happiness that comes when we find where we truly belong.
Born in Milan, Roberta Volpe is an artist, designer, and educator whose work bridges theatre and fine art. She trained in Set Design at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera and in Set and Costume Design at the Opera Academy of Verona, later gaining hands-on experience at Teatro alla Scala. During her master’s studies, she made her international debut at the Amazonas Theatre in Brazil with Puccini’s Suor Angelica.
After moving to London in 2013, she worked as a Scenic Artist at the Royal Opera House, contributing to major productions including The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, and Mamma Mia!. In 2018, her design work was recognised with the EVCOM Event Design Award.
Since opening her studio in 2019, Volpe has developed a distinctive visual language that merges theatrical sensibility with expressive, textural, impressionist elements. Now based in Dubai, she continues to create and teach, exploring the dialogue between space, light, and emotion.
