Paulina (b. 1991), is a Mexican-American multidisciplinary artist whose work is grounded in natural materials, particularly the Earth. Specializing in earthen plaster, sculpting and sgraffito, she creates textured, site-specific works that blend art, ecology, and design, weaving together clay, sand, fibers and pigments into richly layered forms. Paulina is a self-taught artist guided by intuition, who has developed her skills through hands-on experience and by learning directly from mentors and artisans around the world.

Outside of her work with earthen materials, she remains engaged in hands-on, creative and movement practices exploring a range of mediums from collage, drawing, digital art, film photography, silversmithing, to dance, hiking and more. Each medium reflects her connection to craft and nature, as expression is her essence.

Paulina’s work is inspired by nature’s forms and intelligence, geometrical patterns, vernacular architecture, tribal craftsmanship, symbolic glyphs and the visual language encountered in altered states of consciousness. Her artistic perspective is shaped by her nomadic lifestyle and time spent in places like India, Morocco and Brazil. Although she travels often, she roots herself between California and Mexico.
