Born in Barcelona with Spanish and French roots, Paola has lived in both Barcelona and Paris. Painting has been at the heart of her life since very early stages, exploring different pictorial techniques during her studies in Barcelona and Florence. Those where combined with more analytical and technological skills acquired during her bachelor in Business Administration and her career in Technology Management Consulting.
Paola was highly influenced by her grandmother Cachi Soler, a known Spanish painter and sculptor, who introduced her to the captivating and emotional world of artistic expression, experimenting without rules and letting emotions flow through the canvas.
The art that came out of this fusion is a particular balance between classical Renaissance influences and contemporary and technological disruption.
The Story
Triangles in a weightless tridimensional space represent our choices from past, to present to future. A language to represent the complexity of time. Every second we move forward is reshaping our options, constructing who we are, who we could be, and who we left behind.
Those shapes define our possibilities in each of our separate lives, allowing us to join with others to form new shapes. New dimensions of realised actuality.
Geometry paired with color has the hidden knowledge on feelings and emotions in time, let them fly and surround you. The culmination of body, mind and spirit captured through the tridimensional shapes expanding in each canvas space – time.

The Process
There are no two identical artwork creation process. Every new piece aims to enter and discover each character’s story, feelings, ambitions, desires, background and translate it into the visual language of tridimensional shapes.Time in art is nourished by ideas of the future, stories of our past and the immediate feelings of the present. We need to go back, forth, turn, and return. Sometimes this takes days, weeks and even months.
Multiple techniques are involved into this discovery and creative path, from pencil sketches combined with pastels, charcoal and watercolors to digital simulations with 2D and 3d rendering programs such as Photoshop, Procreate ZBrush…
By combining digital design techniques with traditional oil painting execution the result is a mixed reality of classical disrupted technology.
