Hello, I'm Barbara P.

Italian artist based in Milan​,​ Italy. I paint abstract works inspired by nature and travel. Travel includes physical space as well as inner reality. The centre of my research includes trips into the unconscious​,​ remote or underwater landscapes and literary works (primarily mythological). I use several layers of acrylic colours and pigments as well as enamel in my art. The art is often characterized by strong​,​ bold colours. Shapes are like glimpses into a mirage or a dream. I try to express an emotion​,​ mood or feeling. My starting point is an idea​,​ memory or suggestion. My wish is that observers of my work use their imagination to go beyond the boundaries of the painting itself.
