Paola Alborghetti

Biography

Paola Alborghetti was born in 1975 in Besana Brianza, near Milan. Her artistic education began between 1998 and 1999 with a course in painting techniques at the Civica Scuola del Castello in Milan. From 2002 to 2006, she attended the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, specializing in Decoration, where she deepened her artistic research.
In 2003, thanks to the ERASMUS program, she spent six months studying at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts in Germany, an experience that enriched her education and broadened her creative perspective. In 2006, she graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts.
Throughout her career, she has participated in and organized numerous artist residency programs both in Italy and abroad, collaborating with international cultural institutions. Her work stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, exploring the dialogue between materials, space, and perception.
She currently lives and works between Italy and Germany, continuing to develop her artistic practice through exhibitions, residencies, and collaborative projects.
