Paula Siebra: O estranho familiar (The Strangely Familiar)

The exhibition presents a series of quietly arresting paintings by Paula Siebra that transform the everyday into something subtly uncanny. Objects—a revolver, a rose, a suitcase packed with care—appear both ordinary and unsettling, as though lifted from a forgotten dream or a detective novel. Drawing on her Brazilian roots, Siebra weaves references from folk art, magical realism, and surrealism into intimate still lifes, landscapes, and enigmatic figures. Each work invites viewers to linger in the space between the visible and the concealed, echoing the artist’s belief that painting, like mystery, unfolds through intuition and atmosphere rather than narrative.
