Dublin-based Ninfa Studio specializes in moss wall art, natural interior decor and sustainable gift ideas.
Paola is a self-taught moss artist who has developed her own style by handcrafting unique pieces of moss wall art to transform indoor spaces into healthy and restorative places that improve people’s well-being.
The tri-dimensional artwork evokes natural sceneries or patterns where strokes of moss can actually be touched and smelled, offering a multi-sensory experience like no other.
Paola's work has been recognized both in Ireland and internationally. In September 2024 Paola was nominated the overall Emerging Maker Winner of the prestigious "Future Makers" award sponsored by the Design & Craft Council of Ireland.
She was also selected as Finalist for the Irish-Made Award 2024 by the Irish Country Magazine.
In 2023 some of her awe-inspiring artwork participated in several online art exhibitions, winning the Finalist Award in several juried art competitions like the "5th COLOR" International Juried Art competition" by Teravarna Gallery of Los Angeles, "Shades of Green 2023" and "Best in Medium" juried art competitions by Camelback Gallery, Scottsdale, Arizona.
Paola has also been featured in some contemporary art magazines (read her full interview on Artist CloseUp) as well as in sustainable living books such as "99 Green Ideas" from award-winning Australian architects Felicity and Marc Bernstein.
Paola works with private clients as well as interior designers and architects in Ireland and internationally to design and handcraft bespoke pieces of biophilic moss wall art for residential, commercial and office spaces, introducing stunning statement pieces that look striking on the wall while also absorbing sound, regulating humidity and above all, soothing the mind.
