Paula Turmina’s practice encompasses painting, printmaking, analogue 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.

In her recent paintings, Paula presents us with a metafictional, post-apocalyptic world inhabited by characters who seem to merge with the natural world around them. Using land pigments, she emphasizes the painting’s own construction in a way that continually reminds the viewers that even the most otherworldly imagery is made from earthly material.
