Paola Ruggier<br />

Art for Paola Ruggiero is the mysterious magic that allows a person to body forth his inspiration,<br />

A sort of alchemical process in which the feminine resumes her place, which had been<br />

usurped during the times of patriarchy,<br />

Paola in her paintings realizes the image and recounts it, by means of symbols, to the observer.<br />

In this way the mount becomes a sort of warp, where the material constructs the woof and<br />

the weaving where the composition will create a tapestry that is fascinating much in the way<br />

frescoes are when corroded by time and weather.<br />

This effect of an archaeological find is reflected in the show “Inside the circle”, that Paola<br />

had in mystical Assisi in 2008. In these most recent paintings, the material of the mount has<br />

been refined, lightened...we no longer have the rough surface that was a visual echo of plaster<br />

wrecked by corrosion. The material in these last paintings is simply a light cloudy tonality that<br />

allows us to glimpse the form; the effect is of a phenomenon that is a go-between, halfway<br />

between the reality of the observer and the irreality of what is represented.<br />
