Lorella Paleni
About
Lorella Paleni earned a BFA in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice in 2010. After moving to New York City in 2011, Lorella studied in various summer study programs, including Columbia University. Before her session at Columbia, she was an artist in residence at the Wassaic project. Lorella's work has won numerous awards and nominations, including the Cut & Paste Pick prize presented by Artists Wanted, New York. Paleni currently lives and works in Berlin.
Paleni describes painting as a necessary act, a process through which her experience of the world becomes comprehensible. In her work she attempts to to rebuild, in a figural way, the violence of life which strikes us every day and lies in the essence of ourselves.

She attempt to preserve the power of her images before they become readable and coded. The event in the painting lives compressed in an endless time. All actions or situations represented recur in infinity but are never the same, like a river where the water flows incessantly, changing every moment but remaining of the same substance.
The core of her work lies in the idea of an existence without the constraint of linear time, experiencing life in a direct confront with no artificial schemes, like an animal feeling . … Read More
