    Through the interplay of texture, muted tones, and meditative repetition, the work of Paula Bosco explores the delicate balance between materiality and transcendence. Rooted in an ecological approach, her textile-based practice embraces slowness as both a philosophy and a process—each stitch, each natural pigment, a quiet act of intention. Her pieces exist in the liminal space between art and design, between the organic and the constructed, evoking the timeless rhythm of nature while subtly questioning the environmental impact of artistic creation.

    Bosco’s use of hand-stitched textiles and natural dyes transforms fabric into a terrain of layered emotions—subdued, tactile, and immersive. Her compositions, often defined by soft geometries and organic abstractions, capture the interplay of order and unpredictability, stability and fragility. Drawing from ancient traditions, her work resonates with the cyclical processes of the natural world, where patterns emerge and dissolve like the shifting landscapes of memory and time.

    According to curators and critics, Bosco’s work engages with a deeper poetics of presence. The artist’s meticulous approach, from hand-dyeing with pigments extracted from plants and minerals to the meditative repetition of stitches, mirrors the cyclical and interconnected nature of existence. This material sensitivity not only preserves but reinterprets ancestral knowledge, bridging the contemporary with the primordial.

    Born in Argentina, Bosco has lived and worked internationally, shaping a practice deeply informed by cross-cultural traditions and ecological awareness. Her work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, London, and Athens, and she has participated in artist residencies, such as JOYA Art + Ecology AiR. One of her pieces is held in a private collection at The Shard Place, further cementing her place in the contemporary art world.  

    With an evolving body of work that is eager to incorporate sculpture and object design, Bosco continues to redefine textile art as both an aesthetic and conceptual force, inviting the viewer into a world of quiet reflection, slowness, and profound material presence.

     

  • MANIFESTO

    “My art is an offering with the intention of bringing a quiet time for observation, reflection, deep communion with nature...

    “My art is an offering with the intention of bringing a quiet time for observation, reflection, deep communion with nature and connection with spirituality. I want to facilitate the viewer the attendance to their relationship with themselves and with the living Earth. By inviting the observer’s mind to a softer place and to return to the essence, I can connect with them in the emotional realm. From there, true feelings emerge and the mind becomes a space like a garden.

    I pursuit of themes of beauty, calmness and mindfulness, the value of the handmade. But above all, I want to stimulate the desire to practice deep respect of nature, and part of that respect comes with interaction and time. It is by engaging in connection with nature, we learn to value it and this is grounded in a deep connection to the self. With our spirit.

    My process is an intuitive and immersive ritual where I deepen my connection with the spiritual energy of nature, the senses and myself. I work in a meditative fashion and with the reciprocal interaction between intentioned methodology and total freedom. What comes into fruition -as a consequence- is art that can be safely put back into The Earth."

    THE STORY

     

     

    Paula began her career as a Fashion Designer, being fashion the industry within which the artist developed a fascination for textiles and honed  screen printing, hand embroidery and textile manipulation techniques used in her current creative practice.  

    In 2017 she specialised in Textile Design at Central Saint Martins School, University of the Arts London. Throughout the years, Bosco's artistic practice has evolved and transitioned from working mainly digitally as a print designer to a continuous exploration of a wide range of textile manipulation, dyeing techniques, natural materials that would allow her to connect with a slow-living lifestyle and mindful action. 

    Paula Bosco Studio was founded in 2019. The project started with the artist growing awareness of the global character of ecological and social problems, concerning for the environmental consequences these could have and questioning of the functioning of the art system, in particular how the art industry has been inspiring society to think about sustainability and to make more conscious decisions when it comes to making and buying art. 

    In the light of this, artists as social actors have the potential to be able to offer alternatives to dominant paradigms and art as a vehicle of expression, a medium or an indictment to speak up and raise awareness on behalf of sustainable development. 

    As a keen researcher of the boundaries between art and design, and sustainability at its core, the studio focuses on textile art and printed textiles that resonate with contemporary culture whilst taking into consideration the life cycle of the works, considering the material burden of the pieces and the resources that are used in the creative process. The emphasis is not only on decreasing material waste and potential damage to ecosystems, but also on adopting and re-valuing ancient and traditional techniques that have been handed down to generations.
