GET TO KNOW PAOLA VIGNOLA

I am Paola Vignola, an Italian based in Barcelona, with a multidisciplinary profile, whose creative activity encompasses painting, design, furniture restoration and artistic creation applied to space.

I moved to Barcelona at a young age, and it's where I've spent much of my career. I studied in Milan and Barcelona, and I have a degree in economics, as well as training in fashion design, a profession I practiced for many years. My artistic practice is characterized by a vivid imagination and, why not say it, a knack for color combinations. For years I've dedicated myself to furniture restoration, transforming its color and appearance until, in many cases, it becomes a small work of art. Building on this experience, I also began creating and refurbishing picture frames, updating old and unremarkable pieces to fully integrate them into the visual language of my paintings.

 

My paintings are defined by a modern, decorative, and innocent style, with the intention of bringing color, freshness, and energy to spaces. I avoid confining myself to a single style, allowing my imagination to flow freely and channeling my creative energy to generate a visual and emotional impact on the viewer.

 

Through my social media, especially Instagram @paolavignolaartista and @restauraconpaola, I share the transformation and creation processes of my pieces, showcasing the dialogue between art, restoration, and contemporary design. My works are designed to renovate interiors, such as homes, offices, shops, and creative spaces. Currently, I continue my artistic practice and live in Barcelona, maintaining a free, vibrant, and experimental approach in my work.
