Welcome to the art story of Paola Fiorido
Art critic, journalist and art dealer
Over the years, I have refined my skills in the cultural field, establishing myself as a talent scout and art curator for renowned galleries, including Famiglia Margini in Milan and Venice Faktory in Venice. My editorial career began with roles as an international editor for prestigious publications such as Twill Magazine, NY Arts Magazine, and Beautiful Savage.
As a critic and journalist, I have collaborated with leading Italian outlets like Artuu Magazine and Arte In, which remains in print. My work includes interviews with prominent artists and the successful organization of cultural events, characterized by a bold, incisive, and sometimes provocative approach.
Continuously driven by a passion for innovation, I explore new artistic expressions and contribute unique perspectives to every project, thanks to a commitment to lifelong learning and creativity.
Actress and Muse
My artistic journey weaves together acting and fashion, exploring diverse ways of telling stories through emotions and visual aesthetics. I studied classical American theater at the Acting Studio in New York, following the Sanford Meisner method, and enriched my training with masterclasses led by acclaimed directors such as Tim Robbins, John Landis, and Ruben Östlund. As a performer, I have collaborated with musicians and bands like Club Dogo, Chip Taylor, Sananda Maitreya, and the emerging band Stain the Canvas, and I have participated in film productions, including a brief appearance in House of Gucci. Additionally, I worked in television for two years on Markette on La7 alongside Piero Chiambretti. In the world of fashion, I have been a model for brands like Fiorucci and Roger Vivier, and I have posed for renowned photographers such as Kris Dewitte, Paulina Otylie Surys, Gilles Vidal, and Federica Palmarin. Each project represents an opportunity for me to merge storytelling and imagery, creating unique and original interpretations. For me, art is a continuous journey—a way to inspire and forge authentic connections with the world.
Visual Artist and Photographer
My artistic training is rooted in my studies in painting at the Academy of Fine Art of Brera with Xante Battaglia and photography with Enrico Magri, experiences that have shaped my aesthetic and conceptual approach. I have exhibited my work at the Art Fair in Turin and published in prestigious magazines such as Vandals Magazine and Fifteen Magazine, achievements that reflect my dedication to artistic exploration. I am a 360-degree creative, endowed with a deep aesthetic sensibility that resonates in every image I create. Each project is the result of meticulous research, blending technique and visual sensitivity to tell stories and convey emotions through an authentic and refined language.
