Paula Balderas

"My profession is graphic design, learned in the university where I came into contact with materials and techniques that had always interested me. As a designer, I like to imagine I'm going to use what I design, thus imagination and intuition are creative tools to carry out a project that satisfies people's needs.

"Painting and drawing offer me the possibility of creating for no one. This is something intimate that comes from inside me. When a work is finished, I share it with the viewer without pretensions or promises. It all begins with specific moments; it's a process of introspection, searching and experimenting. Quick, desperate brushstrokes, secrets and thoughts. I summarize moments in life, that are played again many times, and when I finish a painting it encloses part of the past and part of the present. You'll find a story on the canvas.

"I graduated from the Universidad Iberoamericana in 1999. My specialty was illustration and I prefer children's illustration. It was only in 2002 that I began to show others my passion for drawing."
