Mara Paletti — Figurative artist

The artist

Mara Paletti has been painting since childhood, when she discovered her passion colouring black-and-white albums. Trained at the Liceo Artistico and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, in Milan, her mostly figurative painting plays black and white against bold colour — a path recognised through exhibitions, publications and commissions such as the gold-leaf ceiling at Milan's Hotel Palace.
