Newspaper Clippings & Reviews

“The secret is in the expert painting, the authentic touch, the nervy, unorthodox palette..staying power and integrity...these works...have a sense of reality of the sort that is experienced rather than seen..An artist who can successfully mediate between seeing and knowing is a rare find.”  Helen L. Kohen The Miami Herald.

“This color that does not come from light, but, in a sense, from darkness...There are mysteries here.”  Comments by Dr. Angiola Churchill, NYU on seeing the Zen Series.

“A handwriting is fractured, reduced, and disciplined; decorative inventions are matured into form.  In all her work, meaning is the ambition of sensibility...”  Richard Lorber, Contributor to Art Forum, Portfolio, Arts,  Art Express

“Paparelli’s pictures are the most enigmatic in the...show...uses free association to overlay her work with appealing mystery...”  Elizabeth Chase Morrow, Jacksonville Journal

“...she uses the formal vocabulary of abstract art to express states of emotion and inner experience...[The paintings in her Love Series] will come as a welcome change, because art that strives to make the viewer feel good is surprisingly rare today.” Charles Bernstein, The Sun Post, Miami Beach, Fl.

“...spontaneity that allows chance...to intervene...flair for design and compositional balance...a spiritual awareness...visual ambiguities...deny all suggestions of narrative and heighten one’s appreciation of Paparelli’s application of paint, use of line...and subtle use of color.”  Roger Hurlburt, News/Sun-Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale, Fl.

“Paparelli...espone lavori dai colori accesi, espressionisti di discendenza ‘cobra’.”  Enzo Di Martino, Il Gazzettino (Venezia)
