Roberto appreciates the importance of coordinating with architects, contractors, and community representatives – such as city councils, redevelopment agencies, and public arts commissions. Part of his success as a muralist has been his ability to work with a diversity of clients and agencies, guiding each project through the collaborative process, step-by-step, in order to realize a successful project that addresses the needs of all of the invested stake holders.

"The collaborative design process, when done well, results in a project that is more than the vision of just one person. I see this process as not only revealing the artist's sensitivity to the subject but also as an opportunity to give expression to a community's own hopes and desires. This shared aesthetic experience generates civic pride, encourages tourism, and revitalizes public areas. In addition, an exterior mural can give your building a landmark status. Sounds like a win/win situation." -RQ
