Paula Kirsten (b. 1990s in Delmenhorst, Germany) explores perception, ambiguity, and the processes through which meaning and positions are formed. Working primarily through painting and drawing, she employs layering, repetition, and visible revisions to make processes of negotiation tangible. Earlier states remain present within the image, allowing multiple perspectives, contradictions, and possibilities to coexist.
Rather than seeking resolution, her work approaches uncertainty as a productive condition. The resulting paintings function as spaces in which meaning remains open, negotiated, and subject to revision.
Paula lives and works in Berlin.
