While having worked mostly on two-dimensional painting projects in the past, Patricia Miani has been branching out more with sculptural works. Using foam board as a base for her sculptures, she paints petal-like portions of cardboard which she secures to the spheres or larger formed sculptures to create uneven, seemingly layered works that swirl with complexity and color. Each petal is a painting on its own, rich with color and movement.

I met Miani‘s beautifully executed sculptures when she made an intervention at Galería Mar Dulce garden filling all around with painted spheres hanging from the trees and looking like some kind of magical fruit, with larger sculptures dotting the ground. The effect was quite delightful.
