Roberto Mirulla was born in Rome in 1972 to an Italian father from Tripoli, Libya, and an English mother.
He became passionate about photography as a teenager and participated in photography competitions and workshops. His main teachers were reporter Mario De Biasi and Franco Fontana. Among his favorite photographers are Gabriele Basilico, Luigi Ghirri and the historical photographers of the Magnum agency. He holds a diploma in photography from Istituto Cine Tv Rossellini and a degree in architecture from Roma Tre. To his personal photographic research, he accompanies a teaching activity at various associations. His work has always investigates the landscape of urban and suburban areas in their transformations, researching the most subtle aspects of composition, light and space. His vision is both emotional and contemplative. The landscape very often prevails over the human presence, giving a methaphysical dimension to the images. He has been exhibiting his work at galleries and institutional spaces since 2000. He is part of a group of photographers “Quelli di Franco Fontana”, with whom he has exhibited in various national venues including the Palazzo Merulana in Rome, Spazio Tadini in Milan, Palazzo dell’Arte in Foggia. Since 2022 he has been a member of a Collective of artists in the Roman neighborhood of Monteverde, with whom he develops projects in Rome. In 2023 he published the photography book Paesaggi Ricomposti, published with Silvana Editoriale.
He lives and works in Rome.
