Artist, will be attending Play 2026
My name is Roberto Sirchia, and I am a professional miniature painter for collectors.
I first approached the world of miniatures twenty years ago, visiting shops in my city that displayed armies from many of the most popular games of the time. Over time, I connected with other enthusiasts and became increasingly interested in one specific aspect — painting. From there, I continued my journey: first aiming to create models that looked particularly striking on the battlefield, and later focusing on single pieces, purely for the pleasure of adding them to my collection.
For nearly a decade now, my work has involved painting miniatures at all levels for a wide variety of clients: from large armies eager to be deployed on the battlefield, to single models destined for display alongside other characters.
Working with colors is a wonderful activity, and being able to use them to bring models almost to life — whether they are used in epic battles or simply admired — is always an exciting experience. Telling a story through colors, brushstrokes, and the choice of scenic elements is something truly powerful, and it constantly fuels my passion for new artistic challenges.
You can find me on Instagram and Facebook as “The Lost Painter”, or contact me via email at: robthelostpainter@gmail.com.
Roberto will be present with the Araldi Collective every day at Play: Festival del Gioco 2026.
