Roberto Kunsterle was born in Gorizia in 1948 and began his artistic career in the early 1970s as a painter and installer. Later, he discovered that photography was the ideal means of expression for his art and so he began to dedicate himself to this genre. Over the years, the main themes present in his artistic poetics emerge, such as the idea of ​​a continuity between the world of human beings, animals and plants, the mediating role of the body, the denial of the gaze and the constant use of irony, ambiguity and metamorphosis to attract the viewer's attention and show the ideas he has in his mind.
Kunsterle uses photography to create a balance between fiction and reality and in this process uses a very elaborate personal approach. The final photograph is merely the last step of the entire complex creative process. In 2012, his work was awarded the FVG Photography Award, CRAF of Spilimbergo (Pordenone), Italy.
In addition to photography, Kunsterle is also a screenwriter and director of short films that have been selected in several international film festivals. In 2009, his documentary 'Domenica dei Fiori', directed together with Ferruccio Goia, won the award for best film at the Lago Film Festival and was selected for the Festival International Jean Rouch in Paris.
