Paola Torsiello Discusses Intuition, Illness, and Abstract Painting in Singulart Interview
In a conversation with Singulart Magazine on September 18, 2026, Paola Torsiello, a self-taught abstract artist, shared insights on how her relocation from South America to Germany shaped her artistic journey. Arriving in Germany without knowledge of the language, she turned to painting as her primary means of communication, drawing inspiration from her vibrant South American heritage. Torsiello's creative approach embraces imperfect shapes, reflecting the dualities of order and chaos in life, which she considers pivotal to her artistic evolution. Favoring bold contrasts over minimalism, she seeks to create harmony between opposing forces. Following a severe autoimmune diagnosis, painting became her sanctuary. She aspires for her audience to experience a moment of mindfulness through her art. The interview showcases three pieces available on Singulart.
