Who we are


In 1990 the sculptor Romhein Boutros, followed this tradition and opened the doors of his studio to welcome anyone who desired to sculpt. Since then, Boutros has offered almost two decades of experience in teaching both the ancient and modern techniques of working in marble, stone, clay and wood.
At Arco Arte students develop the technical skills to handle the marble and work out concepts, thoughts and ideas in the process of creating a sculptural work.

Our Studio.  We feel that one of the greatest benefits we can offer, is the opportunity for students to work and live on site, with the freedom of carrying out artistic activity manually well outside of normal working hours.  Our centre for sculptural activity consists of work spaces, different types of accommodation to suit the needs of different students, recreation and cooking areas. This not only guarantees a tranquility and pleasant environment for all residents, but also satisfies students’ needs to interact.

In the city of Carrara, with its romantic primitivism, you will experience the poetry of time standing still. This is a territory linked historically to mining and marble workmanship, the eternal material that has enriched human civilization and even today retains its undiminished fascination.

Carrara is where major artists throughout history have trained and worked, attracted by the availability of marble and skilled artisans. Artists such as Michelangelo came to Carrara to select their marble.  Over the centuries, the capacity to use other materials besides stone, such as clay, plaster and wood, have also been developed and provided further attraction..
