This paper and polystyrene flower was created for the Paper Artist Collective Colorplan challenge of 2018. Participants were given paper of a specific colour and had to produce a piece respecting precise dimensions. Adriana chose to express her longstanding interest in organic shapes with this delicate plant, in between a flower and a snake.

A unique visual artisan
- • Adriana is originally from Italy but based in Berlin
- • She defines herself as a self-taught hard worker
- • The first object she made was a Victorian paper wig
With a special focus on paper crafts, Adriana Napolitano's work is a quirky combination of set design, photography and digital retouching. As a freelance designer, she’s experienced in all aspects of developing and creating crafts for stills and films. With a highly individual aesthetic and great attention to detail, her paper sets and props feature real life characters and often Adriana herself. Take some pop, some surrealism and a dose of craftsmanship, put them in a blender, add a pinch of humour, and that describes her style. “I can work with almost anything, but have a preference for paper and recycled materials. And I love to describe myself as a visual artisan,” she says. She’s based in Berlin but will soon be opening a new studio in Italy, her native country.
