Pàulla Scàvazzini (1990) lives and works in São Paulo. She began her studies in architecture and urbanism at Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (2009), graduated in fine arts from Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado (2014), and holds a degree in art education from Faculdade Santa Marcelina (2016).

With over a decade of professional experience, her research in painting has evolved through portraits, painting-objects, animals, floral formations, “abstracted landscapes,” and installations, all marked by gesture, vibrant color, and a playful dialogue between reality and fiction.

Her work is held in important public collections such as Museu de Arte Brasileira – MAB/FAAP (SP) and Museu Inimá de Paula (MG). She has had solo exhibitions at School of Visual Arts (New York, 2025), Projeto Vênus (São Paulo, 2021), Cité internationale des arts (Paris, France, 2018), Museu de Arte Brasileira, MAB/FAAP (São Paulo, 2018), and Zaratan (Lisbon, 2017). She has also participated in group exhibitions at Paço das Artes (São Paulo, 2024), Museu de Arte Sacra (São Paulo, 2023), and Grand Palais (Paris, 2019), among others. She was selected for artist residencies at School of Visual Arts (New York, 2025), Cité internationale des arts (Paris, 2018 and 2022), and Zaratan – Arte Contemporânea (Lisbon, 2017).

Forest Eclipse (2025) reveals a search to expand the limits of painting by articulating intense gesture, careful chromatic study, and sculptural materiality with the atmosphere created in the space it inhabits. The dialogue between the pictorial and the environment echoes the artist’s background in architecture, bringing closer color, texture, composition, and the scale of the viewer’s sensory experience. These elements draw from references to the exuberance of Brazilian tropical botany — a recurring matrix in her landscapes — yet advance toward expressing the apocalyptic chaos of the contemporary global context. The work is part of the series Cápsulas, in which each capsule acts as a possible fragment of a larger-scale painting.
