Paulina is a Mexican-American multidisciplinary artist whose work is grounded in natural materials, particularly the Earth. Specializing in earthen plaster, sculpting, and sgraffito techniques, she creates textured, site-responsive works that integrate art, ecology, and design. Outside of her work with earthen materials, she remains deeply engaged in hands-on, embodied creative practices, exploring a wide range of mediums. Her practice spans several mediums, including ceramics, dance and somatic movement, film photography, silversmithing, textile exploration, and other mixed media. Each medium reflects her strong connection to material and craft, as art and expression are her essence.
Paulina is self-taught and guided by intuition. She has developed her skills through hands-on experience and by learning from mentors around the world. Her work is influenced by organic architecture, nature, folklore and ancestral techniques, psychotropic states, sacred geometry, and more. Her artistic perspective is shaped by her nomadic lifestyle and time spent in places like India, Morocco, and Brazil. Although she travels often, Paulina roots herself between San Diego, California and Tepoztlán, Mexico.
