Paula Valenzuela is a Chilean-born mixed media abstract artist based in Montevideo, Uruguay, with strong ties to the San Francisco Bay Area. Her work is process-driven and explores psychological depth, memory, and the relationship between containment and transformation.

With a background in clinical psychology and public health, Valenzuela approaches painting as an embodied, intuitive practice. Through layering, excavation, and erasure, her works reveal traces of time and inner experience, inviting quiet reflection and introspection.
