natural pearls on canvas on board

2014

Paola Pivi's "natural pearls on canvas on board" employs organic materials to create a tactile exploration of luxury and nature's inherent beauty. By placing actual pearls directly onto canvas mounted on board, the artist collapses the distinction between precious object and artistic medium, challenging conventional notions of what constitutes a painting. The work exemplifies Pivi's practice of incorporating unexpected materials and surfaces to create conceptually rich pieces that engage viewers both visually and materially.
