Artworks by Milena Paladino

Creativity has always been one of my main personality traits. I learned how to paint, draw, sculpt in clay, and design graphic projects in art school. At the university, I expanded this practical knowledge to include theoretical aspects of art and its reception. But during all these years, I couldn’t find a form of creativity that would fully allow me to express myself. One day, with absolutely no great expectations for the result, I decided to embroider rather than paint one of my sketched compositions directly on the canvas. The embroidery process itself turned out to be a very relaxing and mesmerising experience. I completely lost myself in it. Also, seeing how satisfying the visual aspect of the finished work was for me, I immediately understood that I had found something special. I use natural materials to create my artworks, like alpaca and cotton yarns, because they offer the best aesthetic and sensory quality. I want my collectors to have contact with a truly high-quality product. My works require human interaction to fully understand what makes them valuable. I am deeply convinced that the art you create, besides the other arguments you want to express through it, must also talk about you. I try to strive for harmony, focusing on exploring colour, form, and composition in the pursuit of beauty. Through tangible materials, I want to express also intangible emotions: memories, dreams, silence and more. I really hope that Artfinder will help me to reach collectors that will love my art as much as I do.
