Oberto Airaudi (born in Balangero, Italy, 1950) is a multifaceted and very prolific artist, one of the most profound and innovative in the panorama of international contemporary art. He is also a philosopher, poet, painter and writer.

His first paintings from the beginning of the 1980s are compositions characterized by rigorously geometrical figures with flat colors. The most recent ones with intense hues and sometimes with bold insertions of metals, mirrors and various materials.

A researcher in therapeutic methods and fringe science, Airaudi has created painting techniques that are connected with an ancient discipline called Selfica. This discipline involves the use of intelligent energy that is able to interact harmoniously with its users and the environment. The pictorial applications of Selfica involve the use of colors and alchemically-prepared substances, combined with forms and symbols that have been passed down from ancient mystical and esoteric traditions. Every Selfic painting is a page in a book of knowledge, and the key to reading it is the combination of the painting and title, which is always expressed in a poetic form.

The paintings of Oberto Airaudi have been exhibited in many cities in Italy and around the world, including Turin (at Galleria La Bussola), Moscow (At the Elena Vrubleskaya Gallery), London, Zurich, Berlin, Tokyo, and Maui.

Oberto Airaudi is also known as the inspiration behind the Federation of Damanhur and the Temples of Humankind. Some of his large scale mural works can be found in Damanhur. According to the tradition that the citizens of the Federation have of using animal names, Airaudi is also called Falco (Falcon).
