Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything turns, everything flies away and goes away. Frida Kahlo
Born in Mexico, Paula discovered her vocation at a young age while playing in her great aunt's studio. As an adult, she moved to England and, after a few years, returned to her passion by studying at the University of the Arts in London. Painting became an integral part of her life and daily routine and helped her to recharge her batteries. Very attached to her cultural origins, the artist illustrates on canvas the beauty and the magic of the landscapes of Latin America. Altruistic and committed, Paula also hopes to use art as a means of recovery and support for people suffering from mental disorders.
Paula is primarily interested in our perception of the world and the links between memory, dream and reality. In her work, she captures the beauty and magic of her native Mexico and transports us to quiet, dreamlike, almost nostalgic settings. She seeks to reflect with poetry the essence that a place acquires over time and the communities that live there. She draws her inspiration from her memories and is part of the magic realism with models like Remedios Varo, Tarsila Do Amaral or Hilma af Klint. On the canvas, the artist plays with scales and often represents small solitary characters to highlight the immensity of the landscapes she depicts. She mainly uses gouache for its texture and uses strong and vivid colors. It is with a pleasant sense of tranquility that Paula takes us on a journey into her past and her imagination.
