Paula del Rivero grew up in Madrid (Spain) in a family of art enthusiasts and nonprofessional artists who instilled her with their passion for contemporary art. After obtaining a degree in Translation, her thirst for knowledge and her inclination to gather a variety of experiences led her to live in Ireland, Amsterdam, and New York. She expanded her studies and worked in diverse industries, such as programming and graphic design. Whilst looking for her true vocation, she discovered printmaking, studying under Spanish printmaker and sculptor Mar Prat, becoming her studio assistant. Her artistically inclined upbringing encouraged Paula to finally choose a career in the Arts, growing into a self-taught fine artist focusing on a variety of media. Her works range from relief paintings and collages, to textile wall sculptures, which she has exhibited at Hastings Contemporary, the Spanish Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Printmaking. STATEMENT: My current artistic practice explores the limits of our human sensory perceptions and rational comprehension of our three-dimensional experience, in an attempt to answer the questions: What would reality look like if we only perceived frequency and vibration? What are the landscapes and structures lying beyond matter? In that sense, and throughout my practice, my work is always the result of an effort to reveal the deeper meaning of our human existence, to present what lies beyond the limits of mental understanding, and illuminate what transcends the illusions of separation between the physical and the non-physical.
