Paola Rodriguez Arias (b. 1975) is a visual artist and designer currently living in Geneva, Switzerland. With a background in fashion, jewelry and ceramic design, Paola’s inspiration for her current textile-based works are informed by her upbringing in Colombia and its rich tradition of folk art and handicraft.
