Since childhood, Ana Paúl has been enchanted by paper. Whilst growing up, paper became her palette for changing moods and collage became her language.
The transformative quality of this humble yet noble material and influence of Orientalism, with its ́ delicacy, mystery and use of colour underpins all her work.
Nature ́s simplicity becomes her inspiration and the subtlety of colour and detail her focus. In these works, paper is used in a sculptural way to create an ethereal composition. Each petal is carefully considered and paint is used on different paper types to give life to a variety of textures and tones.
Forest, woods and trees are dominant in her lately works bringing nature distributed throughout our living áreas, mimicking nature in a free interpretation.
Ana Paul ́s work plays with contrast – the linear and the curvaceous; nature and artifice; East and West. She explores the confluence of these opposites to create an harmonious balance.
Ana Paul lives today between Barcelona and Madrid.
