Richard Aliberti is a multi-media Artist from the Boston area. He studied at the School of the Museum of the Fine Arts in Boston and the Massachusetts College of Art. For over 15 years, Aliberti has been creating, exhibiting, and selling his work throughout the US and abroad. Although his work included contemporary metal furniture designs and some photography, Aliberti is first and foremost a sculptor, working primarily in bronze and stone.
To date, he has completed several large-scale public monuments including the thirteen-foot tall bronze and granite sculpture of Dante Alighieri which graces the entrance to the Alighieri Society in Cambridge, MA. Other commissions include a bronze bust of Guglielmo Marconi and two large-scale bronze reliefs which can be seen at the Sacred Heart and St. Leonard Churches, both located in the North End of Boston. Last year, he completed a bronze sculpture of a young John F. Kennedy Jr. for the Everett, MA school system.
Aliberti’s sculpture is often figurative, reflecting the beauty of the natural human form and capturing it in a three-dimensional state of grace. The work is reminiscent of classical, renaissance sculpture. The influence of the Italian Masters is respectfully fused with contemporary ideas. Aliberti is constantly evolving in his work, carving new and unexpected forms, both figurative and abstract, in three dimensions and as reliefs. The goal with all his sculpture, in whatever form, is the intelligent reflection of the beauty that can be found in the world.
