Roberta Volpe and Sound Hybrid Artist (S.H.A.) are working on a collaborative project, “Sound on Art”, that produces dual pieces of art:
An original painting and a limited-edition transparent vinyl record called “My sound vision of…”
Sound On Art creates immersive binaural sound experiences inspired by visual art, evoking the SHARAWADJI effect, a sensation of inexplicable beauty from complex soundscapes.
S.H.A. choose classical paintings that resonate personally and collaborates with contemporary artists to bring art to life through bespoke soundtracks.
These soundscapes invite listeners to engage deeply with the artwork, discovering unseen details and forming unique emotional connections.
The combination of sight and sound amplifies and transcends the visual experience, making art come alive in a profound and immersive way.
By scanning the QR code on the label, the audience can experience a preview with their headphones, immersing themselves in Roberta’s painting through SHA's evocative sound creation.
The full soundtrack is available only to the owner of the dual art.

Now based in Dubai, Roberta combines teaching with artistic practice, creating emotionally rich works that blend theatrical sensibility with painterly expression.
