Gabriella Picone is a New York based artist and designer working in painting, textiles and ceramics. Her practice is fueled by her exploration of materials and by her creative upbringing in both Sicily and in New York. She graduated from The Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Painting in 2010 and in 2019, she founded Idda Studio. Meaning “her” in Sicilian dialect, Idda Studio celebrates the mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend. Drawing inspiration from the history and traditions of Sicily, Idda Studio combines contemporary painting and classical storytelling to create wearable works of art. The versatile textiles can be worn as a scarf, pareo, hung on the wall or used as decoration in the home. The ultra soft silk and cotton is delicately produced in Italy and features original paintings.
Gabriella Picone’s work has been shown internationally and written about in a range of publications. To get in contact to inquire about available paintings, ceramic sculptures and fabric pieces, please email: helloiddastudio@gmail.com
