Born in 1991 in Nova Prata, Brazil. Lives and works in London, UK.

Paula Turmina is a Brazilian multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses painting, printmaking, analog films, and writing. By approaching the canvas and other surfaces as a metaphorical landscape, she explores notions of time and storytelling from a sci-fi perspective. Paula uses, almost exclusively, variations of red in her recent paintings. The application of this colour is a nod to her homeland and the Brazilwood Tree, a strong natural resource which has been exploited and exported as timber since the 16th century. Her canvases depict scenes of a post-apocalyptic world with figures who seem to merge into the nature around them. Paula is interested in the human relationship to the land, speculating on the future of the Earth and the absurdity of political discourse and colonial history.

Paula Turmina completed her BA in Painting at Wimbledon College of Fine Arts in 2016 and graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2021 with an MA in painting. Furthermore, Paula Turmina graduated from the Graphic Design Technical Course at the University of Passo Fundo in Brazil in 2012.
