Several are the reasons and the subjects that create those daily life perceptions and feelings around which Paola Turra develops her art work. [...]
In particular, the views and facades of the Venetian palaces represent the unique vision of the artist’s beloved city, in which the ancient "Gothic-Byzantine" splendor seems to dissolve in a surreal and foggy atmosphere. [...]
It is a deserted and surreal city with a melancholy and "romantic" atmosphere that seems to fade slowly in the memory of a distant and unrepeatable past. [...]
In the constant process of transformation of the contemporary reality, Paola Turra’s artworks grasp the existential value of a place's memory, overcoming the contrast between present and past in a timeless dimension.
