\"\"Paula Siebr<\/a>a<\/a> is a Brazilian painter born in Fortaleza, Cear\u00e1, in 1998. The artist focuses on images related to everyday life and scenes of intimacy using Brazilian northeastern culture as her starting point. Her paintings emerge from the exploration of established themes such as portraits, \u00a0landscapes, and still lifes. \u00a0These motifs, \u00a0throughout her research, \u00a0acquire a \u00a0peculiar aspect: a certain simplification in the contours, added to a reduction in the contrast between chromatic tones, polarizing reality, and reverie \u2013 as if the artist were daydreaming about ordinary life.<\/p>\n

In addition to following a straightforward continuum from tradition, her paintings relate to an inherent visualness of her native land of Cear\u00e1 and the Brazilian Northeast as a whole. She is particularly close to folk art since her interests encompass the synthetic form of clay objects, laces, and other textile works such as crochet and embroidery, \u00a0as well as the geometric and colorful architectural features of traditional houses. Surrounding villages, household objects, and anonymous faces are elements of the landscape in which the artist is immersed, appearing as if clothed by a light mist that covers everything \u2013 alternately concealing or revealing them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
