Ettore Rocca serves as an Adjunct Professor at The Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre, University of Copenhagen, with contact details including email er@sk.ku.dk and phone +4535326172. His academic activities remain active through 2025, evidenced by co-organizing the seminar series 'Søren Kierkegaard e il pensiero dell'esistenza' in April and June 2025, and prior participation in the 'Reconnecting landscapes' conference (December 2017).
Rocca's research integrates Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Art History through Kierkegaard Studies and Religious Art. He examines existential thought in visual contexts, analyzing Danish artists like Maja Lisa Engelhardt and Peter Brandes while connecting historical philosophy to contemporary practice. His work explores theological symbolism in modern art and classical interpretations such as Plato's Timaeus, revealing consistent interdisciplinary methodology across Scandinavian and Mediterranean artistic traditions.
His 2022 publications—eight verified works among 135 total research outputs—demonstrate thematic cohesion: merging aesthetic theory with art criticism through religious symbolism, existential analysis, and technical art examination. Key outputs include studies on Engelhardt's painting techniques, Lundbye's sculpture documentation, and Kierkegaard-Jorn comparative aesthetics, underscoring his focus on depth/surface dynamics in visual culture.
