Paola Korga
Golden Member

The artist has a very personal style that ranges from figurative to abstract. Many symbolist, tribal and multi-ethnic influences characterize her technique. Paola Korga is constantly looking for new textures to be included in her works, making them precious and unique. This adds a further level of interpretation in addition to the ones provided by the colors and the subjects represented. The collage and the use of different materials is a trademark of her works, as well. The union of these elements with bright and earthy colors, ranging from the reds, orange in all its shades, and on to the browns, golden, and bronze ones, summarizes the author’s life and experiences. Paola Korga indeed travelled for years around West Africa, supporting and helping children and families in need. Her paintings, powerfully showing her genuine passion, reflect the great variety and cultural richness of the people she met, the beauty of nature as well as the unspoiled landscape. She portrays the mothers, carrying with strength and elegance the spiritual, albeit heavy heritage of ancestral times. Paola Korga renders in a simple portrait the genetic emotional cultural map of a people thanks to a wise and refined use of her particular technique. Paola Korga’s works can be seen artistically as a whole because they satisfy the eye’s search for beauty and the mind’s wish to add another level of interpretation. If the collages are the author’s stylistic signature, it’s in the abstracts that we discover an unconscious depth, a true compositional balance that creates a choreography on the canvas, with the result of amazing and fascinating the observer. This painter takes us by hand with extreme sweetness to the discovery a wonderful place full of beauty, that isn’t separate from the material world, but it is part of it, as it is intertwined in the labyrinthine textures of these marvelous artworks.
