Overview
Paula Solís

With an excellent use of pictorial techniques, Paula introduces us to a world where humanity coexists harmoniously with nature in a kind of mutual agreement. Animals, humans, their creations, and plants naturally intermingle, creating a shared habitat of astonishing beauty.

 Her work has been part of numerous young art initiatives, such as the Concurso Nacional de Arte Joven, ARTEFACTO, and the Premio MAVI UC, where she has received several distinctions.

Statement
Paula Solís

I use painting, primarily oil and acrylic, to create these worlds where animals, vegetation, and the human figure coexist and relate inclusively. Sometimes, the elements are taken out of their context, while in other instances, it's the original image that undergoes intervention.

 

The painting process can expand, at times reaching a point of abstraction, but it is still contained within the limits that the representational function allows. I seek to find a balance between recognizable graphic elements and abstract, random aspects that emerge during the trial-and-error process. This is how the images take shape, with human figures, animals, and sometimes foliage and vegetation; they are present, expectant of what will happen.
