Visiting Paolo Viola's Atelier is a unique and immersive experience that transports the visitor into a vibrant and evocative universe. His works, the result of meticulous planning, utilize supports of various shapes and sizes to break traditional schemes and create complex volumetric compositions. The absence of staticity in the works gives them a scenographic quality, making the space feel alive and dynamic.
The canvases, altered through the juxtaposition or overlaying of carved panels, form compositions that enhance the painted elements. In addition, three-dimensional figures, often depicting people or children, visually interact and appear to come to life within the surrounding space.
The overall effect is that of a work that actively engages with the visitor, inviting them to immerse themselves and lose track of time in a world beyond the visible, where imagination is stimulated and the perception of space is constantly challenged.
