Anna Paola Cibin

Anna Paola Cibin is a Venetian artist who has been able to reinterpret the ancient tradition of silk velvet, transforming it into a contemporary language of extraordinary refinement. Her work is rooted in the great cultural heritage of the Serenissima, once the crossroads of artistic and artisanal exchanges that gave rise to precious fabrics, refined glassware and unique workmanship. In this context, Cibin stands out for her ability to fuse past and present, reinterpreting historical techniques with an experimental and innovative approach.

The artist uses exclusively silk velvet, which is worked with natural dyes and organic pigments, enriched with gold and silver leaf and Murano glass details. Prominent among the techniques employed is a reinterpretation of hand printing, with which the artist paints and overlays layers of color to create depth and movement. The result is a vibrant surface in which the iridescent reflections of velvet dialogue with light, evoking the enchantment of the Venetian lagoon.

Among the most iconic pieces for sale on Artemest are the silk velvet screens, where the intensity of colors is blended with gold and silver leaf details. Each panel is a work of art in itself, worked with extreme care to enhance the three-dimensionality of the texture and the luster of the fabric. The back, in fine silk brocades with metallic inserts, adds an additional level of sophistication, making each screen not just a piece of furniture, but a true textile sculpture.

Anna Paola Cibin's commitment is not limited to aesthetic research, but also extends to an ethical and sustainable dimension. Her work promotes the recovery of almost forgotten craft techniques, involving local workers and contributing to the preservation of a unique heritage. In addition, the use of natural materials and sustainable manufacturing processes reflects an environmental sensitivity that results in exclusive creations destined to last.

With her unmistakable style, Anna Paola Cibin continues to surprise and enchant, demonstrating how textile art can be a bridge between tradition and innovation, between past and future.
