Biography
Paola Romoli Venturi was born in Rome, where she lives and works. Her artistic research is linked to the value of transparency as a means to communicate. 'Transparency and suspension prepare the visitor to "look through", not to look away, to observe things to reflect' this is the inspiring thought of her performances and installations exhibited in Italy and abroad. In her work, she touches on social themes, creating spaces designed by lights, shadows, and sounds, using different pictorial, sculptural means of expression, audio, video, and site-specific performative installations.
