“This star
illustrator is one of the most sought-after in her field
in Europe and the States.Only a few people can do what
she does .Her inimitable style enthuses art directors
and picture editors of famous publications such as The
New York Times , Time Magazine ,Life Magazine and the
Frankfuter Allgemeine Magazin.
“Paintings,these are paintings”,was my initial
thought when seeing Paola’s work for the first
time on the light table.They were expressive,perfectly
sensory and opulent pictures in strong colours.....
Paola is in the fortunate position of being able to
combine art with commerce.Thanks to the great demand
for her illustrations,she has achieved that which most
creative can only dream of.....
From “Illustrations made by Paola Piglia.The fusion
of art and commerce -more than just a dream ?
by Uwe Richter , Novum April 1996
Swept by the American dream end established in the top
flight of her profession, Italian illustrator Paola Piglia
comands envious sums for her rich and painterly style....
Her oil and acrylic pictures do seem to come from a fine
art approach.Piglia’s technique can look both meticulous
and free at the same time,and - as demonstrated by her
tratment of child abuse subjects - she always avoids the
sensational and the obvious.
