Paola Vertemati

Visual Artist, Photographer

Berlin, Germany
I am a trained trained visual artist, photographer and aesthetic enthusiast.

In love with contrasts, if they look good, I alternate my work as photographer and stylist with personal projects which include: photography, graphic design, fashion styling, 3D and VR.

I grew up with Japanese animations and Romantic literature, loving gritty cemetery-stones and Pokémon.
I also studied art at some point and learned to code.

All this this makes my work utterly incomprehensible and therefore full of deep significance.
