About Paola Baroni

Paola Baroni Hi! I'm Paola!

I'm italian and since I was a child, I was passionate with colours.
My mother sensed my artistic inclination and guided me to experiment with creative techniques and materials, starting with pencils and pastels on paper.

I spent my early childhood years in north Italy, in the province of Milan, then in the suburbs of Turin and subsequently, from third grade to adolescence, in Brindisi, located in the south.
All these moves to various cities didn't have a negative impact on my character, but increased my open-mindedness.
Since I was a child, I realized that the world has no limits and that there is so much to discover.
After completing high school, I attended the three years course of Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University in Lecce.

This experience, although engaging and educational, didn't respond to my irrepressible desire for independence and so, supported by my father, I began looking for a job with the dream of returning to my hometown, Milano.
By responding to a job advertisement, I became a Manager Assistant in a prestigious Italian publishing house in Milan.

Having moved permanently to Milan in 1990, to keep alive my passion for art, I decided to attend the four-year course in Advertising Graphics at the Castello Sforzesco Art School. Starting from this period, I feel I'm constantly evolving as an artist, experimenting with the techniques of watercolor, ink pen, acrylic, mixed and iconographic techniques, photography.

Years later, on a hectic day like many others, an inner voice asked me the question that will, from now on, guide my every daily action: "if today were your last day of life, would YOU be ready?".

At that moment the awareness was born in me that life itself, despite all the difficulties, is wonderful and that's important to make the talents received bear fruit. I thus decided that the time has come to express what I have inside my soul.

My mantra became "now, with the joy I have inside" and thus my 'Joyful Art' works were born. My approach with the 'Fluid Art' technique allows me to let the intense emotions and moods of the moment flow, using acrylic colors on different supports and materials.

With my works, my intent is to attempt to give shape to the essence of life, the source of free creativity and available to all those who want to draw on it. When we are children in our mother's womb, we are immersed in a fluid of pure love.

From the moment of birth we are influenced by the experiences we have, by judgements, by everything that is around us. But this original fluid is always there, you just have to notice it.
As adults we forget about it, but it is like a river that flows alongside us, around us, every day.
Let's imagine first dipping the tip of one foot into the water and gradually, letting go, diving in.
We experience the pleasant sensation of lightness and let ourselves be carried gently by the flow of the current.
At this point we take the colors in hand and let the flow do the rest, which always acts in complete freedom.

I hope you can joyfully appreciate my works!

Best, Paola
