    Lives and works between Argentina and UK

     

    A visual artist and contemporary designer, her practice lies within the expanded field of textiles, with a rigorous ecological focus through the exploration of natural fibers and botanical and mineral pigments. Through a contemporary lens, she reinterprets ancestral knowledge and shapes an aesthetic universe where both worlds are delicately integrated.

     

    Bosco creates emotional atmospheres charged with silence, materiality , and contemplation. Her work explores the tension between matter and transcendence, the organic and the constructed, the ritual repetition of gesture and the unpredictability of the process. Far from seeking explicit narratives, she proposes an intimate, almost ritual space, where the sensory and the spiritual intertwine in a language of muted tones and textures, often defined by soft geometries and organic abstractions. Her practice dialogues with the cyclical temporality of nature and with ancestral knowledge that, through making, is preserved and re-signified. Textile as a medium becomes not only an emotional territory but also a vehicle for critical reflection on the environmental impact of artistic creation. Projects such as *Layers of Earth* and the series SAMA and URQU reveal a persistent search to reconnect with the power of nature and its rhythms-not only as an aesthetic source but as an ethics of creation, where the spiritual manifests through living matter.

     

    Bosco trained in Textile Design at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London (2017), after having worked in fashion design within the local sphere of Córdoba. She holds postgraduate studies in Cultural Management from the National University of Córdoba (2017), as well as in Fashion Marketing and Communication from Universidad Empresarial Siglo XXI (2015). In 2016, she deepened her curatorial knowledge through specialized training in Art Gallery Management and Exhibition Design at NODE Center for Curatorial Studies. She has participated in residencies such as JOYA: AiR Art and Ecology (Spain, 2023) and has exhibited her work in cities including Los Angeles, London, and Athens. Her recent exhibitions include *Layers of Earth* (Sage Culture Gallery, Los Angeles, 2023), her participation in the Art

    Athina fair (Athens, 2024), and the virtual group show *Terra Ancestral* (2025). Her work is part of private collections, including The Shard Place in London. She is currently developing a line of research aimed at expanding her practice into sculpture and object design, reaffirming her interest in symbolic forms and sustainable creation processes.

    My practice stems from a spiritual and sensitive search that materializes through textile work.

    I conceive each piece as an offering, an invitation to inhabit time in a different way:

    with stillness, with presence, with connection.

    I am interested in creating spaces of contemplation that allow the viewer to reconnect with their inner self and with the Earth as a living organism.

     I work with natural materials, pigments extracted from plants and the earth, and manual processes that require time, dedication, and listening.  

    My process is intuitive, almost ritualistic, a form of meditation in motion where intention and freedom coexist. From there, the act of creating becomes a bridge between the material and the spiritual world.

     The pieces I create aim to activate a more attentive, softer, and more respectful sensitivity towards the environment. They speak of beauty, of silence, of the value of handmade work, but also of the deep desire to care for what surrounds us. I believe that by connecting with nature from a place of respect and shared time, we also begin to heal our relationship with ourselves. 

     

    Far from conceiving nature as a passive backdrop I relate to it as a co-author. I do not seek to illustrate it, but to integrate it, contain it, perform it. My work is born from the conjunction of the ancestral, the everyday and a state of full consciousness.

    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.
