PAULA
QUEIROZ

Influenced by the chaotic and turbulant urban landscape of Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro, the artist Paula Queiroz developed her own artistic process: after painting a series of canvases, she cuts them into strips and intertwines them, forming a woof. 

Paula recreates the shapes of her compositions and plays, in a casual way, with the figures and colors that arise from the interaction between the strips. She relates the disorder and urban chaos to the natural beauty of the beaches and their surroundings. 

From the contrasts of a metropolis, made up of buildings, windows and constructions, she’s able to express, in an harmonious and sometimes disturbing way, feelings of peace, joy and security that regard, in a ludic way, to the differences of the big cities.

She studies at the School of Visual Arts, at Parque Lage since 2016 and is currently taking an MBA in Art History at Cândido Mendes University.

Her work dialogues between neoplasticism, constructivism, concretism and optical art and has Mondrian, Kandinsky, Malevich and Vasarely as the main references.
