COBRA ALLORO
Cobra Alloro Uadjit (Simone Teodoro) born in Rome, April 16, 1957, sculptor and artist, lives in Damanhur since 1978.
His master was Alfredo Baracco, a sculptor from Padua, a Buddhist. The meeting with Baracco brought Cobra Alloro to deepen and to get passionate about the knowledge of the sculptural art, both for the techniques and for all that concerns creative expression, a real method of active meditation-action.
In the realization of his works, the artist uses classical materials such as marble, ceramics, bronze, wood, but also composite materials such as young stone, a mixture of his own invention.
Cobra Alloro style recalls the soft shapes of classicism. His sculptures are hyperealistic, with a touch of modern interpretation of the sacred representation, proper of his training and spiritual research, where the art of sculpture is combined with a refined inner research made of harmony of forms, meditation and personal growth.
Among Cobra's realizations we mention
the colonnade of S. Lorenzo al Mare (IM), a structure composed of eight columns 4 m high, joined by arches, for a development of 22 m. The work represents in art the flood that hit the town in 1998 and is made of stoneware ceramic, painted with the engobe technique.
Portrait of female nude, life-size, terracotta. Swimming pool of "Il Pardo" in Turin.
Pan in bronze 120cm. Villa in Zurich.

He participated in the restoration of the Minerva of Breno, an Hellenic marble statue of the 1st century AD, present at the Archaeological Museum of Cividate Camuno (BS). The most significant part of the restoration of the Minerva of Breno was the reconstruction of the missing head, performed by the artist in his own workshop inspired by the main existing Minerva. The restored work was exhibited at the "Brera" in Milan where the typology, not only conservative, of the restoration aroused interest.
