Paola Perugini

I am a self-taught painter and have been painting for a long time. I started when I was fourteen years old with oil paints and copying famous paintings from the past because I had an encyclopedia of the world's art museums. I still keep one of the first ones: the Venus of Velázquez. Then I continued over the years by switching to water colors. I love painting very much. I like to depict human figures not only for the beauty of a face, but for the expression I catch in a person, for eyes that tell without speaking, for an enlightening smile that gives cheerfulness and hope, for two extra wrinkles that make a difference in the story marked on a person's face. Especially in African faces I like the black eyes and the different shades of their skin or the bright colors of their clothes. As a painting technique I use acrylic colors and my brush strokes can be either textural or smooth. Each painting is a unique piece. I never repeat the same subject, nor do I make prints. For the past few years I have been participating in contemporary art fairs in France and Italy.

Art Curator Master got in Italy. Bachelor's degree in modern foreign languages and master degree in film studies.
