Paola Romano. In Other Words

The artistic personality of Paola Romano is highlighted, first of all [...] by the particular inclination to a declination of doing that finds its meaning in the experience of its making and equally in the residual trails of its manifestation, the works. Hers is an approach that doesn't impose itself already as a moment following a theoretical reflection, but as an experimental necessity which tends to the achievement of an aesthetic result essentially unpredictable because released from any project. In other words her doing is nothing but the revealing act that testifies in a perfect way that indomitable creative instinct that led to experience over the years, different techniques and languages. However this practice in the name of absolute freedom, which disregards projects and precepts, doesn't lack a moment in which this kind of virtuous inertia of doing gives way to evaluation, observation and judgment of what has been achieved. This is a grim situation and it might often leads to the zeroing, cancellation and destruction of the object: if it is true that everything can contribute to the realization of the work, it is also true that not everything can reach that dignity, Ms Romano seems to show.
