About the Item

Paula Valenzuela Memory of Water I, 2023 Mixed media on panel 48 x 12 inches This painting is part of the Patagonia Landscape series. This series explores the impermanence of glaciers, the fleeting beauty of frozen landscapes, and the profound impact of climate change on these natural wonders. Paula Valenzuela's signature style consists of the creation of complex layers of paint which are covered and excavated over and over in order to bring the hidden history to the surface. She pours layers of liquid acrylic paint onto canvases and paints polygonal shapes or spirals. She uses acrylics, resins, pigments, minerals, rust, varnishes, gels, oil sticks and cold wax. Paula's technique is tactile. She plays with the texture of painting, endlessly editing the surface. Before the paint can dry, Paula is back on it. She scratches the artwork, tears paper layers, makes dents and new marks. She removes layers and adds new layers again.
