Anna Paola Cibin was born in San Donà di Piave, Venice.

After studying Fine art with a specialisation in weaving she moved to London where she continued her studies in fabric design. Some of her textile designs have been assumed by Lorenzo Rubelli and she has work in the permanent collection of the Palazzo Mocenigo Textile Museum in Venice.

Once she had completed her studies Anna Paola returned to Venice where she worked with the master galas blowers from Murano. Through this partnership Anna Paola learned the ancient technique of glass production and soon realised the versatility of the medium.

In 1997 Anna Paola began to explore the practice of painting on velvet, a technique that is now her unique signature style. She is both honouring reinterpreting the classical painting technique used in Venetian tapestries, embellishing them with gold and silver leaf and the application of Murano glass detailing.

Anna Paola has exhibited widely with shows in Venice, Milan, Verona, Eindhoven, Paris and New York.

In 2012 Anna Paola will be exhibiting in both the UK with Fiumano Fine Art and further afield in Singapore.
