Influenced
by street art, Pax Paloscia runs endlessly the world fitted with a camera and a suitcase full of memories. Her passion for photography and the 7th art are the driving force behind her inspiration
and place the image in the center of her work.
Pax
Paloscia paints as a poet. Her sensibility, deeply feminine, is
translated by a large stylistic freedom. She will not forbid herself anything;
on the contrary, she plays with shapes, colours and can be wilder by using many
annotations, more or less decipherable. Her paintings look like a familiar
wall, where pictural signs and feelings are superposed.
Family
reminiscences, childhood memories, contribute to an abundance of pictures,
situations and significant details, composing a sort of a personal diary which
is feeding her creation.

My work is exhibited by several galleries and in various art events all across Italy (Rome, Milan, Bologna, Pitigliano, Reggio Emilia), Paris and Antwerp (Belgium). Two years ago with a couple of friends I started building an international visual art network, focused on the street art scene, with his own space in Rome, endorsed by the City Council, called Studio14. The studio organised several art shows exhibiting the works of artists coming from Italy and from abroad (L.A., New York, France, Antwerp, Berlin, London).
