To Paula, creation becomes a method of immersion—an attempt to step outside human time, to soothe a hyperactive mind, and to surrender to the open possibilities of abstraction and the unknown.
Paula Trujillo (b. 1997, Guadalajara Mexico) is a multidisciplinary artist trained in Visual Arts at the University of Guadalajara, where she currently lives and works. Her practice spans painting, drawing, sculpture, dyeing, and sewing, a breadth of processes that leads her to identify not as a painter but as a “creator.” Restless in both mind and hands, Trujillo has found in artistic making a space of relief and concentration since childhood—one of the few moments in which thought becomes quiet.
Her work oscillates between intimate registers and speculative worlds: from rendering daily sensations related to her own body, sexuality, and lived perception, to the invention of landscapes and objects from other universes, and to chromatic and formal explorations in which composition emerges during the act of making itself. Rejecting preparatory sketches or predetermined ideas, Trujillo allows material behavior and climatic conditions to become active agents in the process. Creation becomes a method of immersion—an attempt to step outside human time, to soothe a hyperactive mind, and to surrender to the open possibilities of abstraction and the unknown. At its core, her practice constitutes a sustained pursuit of mental silence through material experimentation.
