My art practice is motivated by a desire to play with the mysterious senses of objects: a jar that is never really a jar; a flower arrangement that talks about something else, as it lies on a table; a landscape that is much more of a mood than just two trees on a dune.
– Paula Siebra
In addition to following a straightforward continuum from tradition, her paintings relate to an inherent visualness of her native land of Ceará and the Brazilian Northeast as a whole. She is particularly close to folk art since her interests encompass the synthetic form of clay objects, laces, and other textile works such as crochet and embroidery, as well as the geometric and colorful architectural features of traditional houses. Surrounding villages, household objects, and anonymous faces are elements of the landscape in which the artist is immersed, appearing as if clothed by a light mist that covers everything - alternately concealing or revealing them.
