Paradise lost | 120×80 | Oil on canvas | £5980 | We all long to be someplace else sometimes. We do not even know where, just not here. We dream about a secret place, an island in the middle of the ocean where we could retreat to, far away from everyone and everything. But this place exists only in our imagination.

Season of the Witch #1 | 130×95 | Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas | £1900 | The first work from my Season of the Witch series, a group of paintings reflecting fundamental existentialist concerns; isolation, alienation, the importance of individual freedom. The ‘witch’ figure in the work is a harbinger of chaos, predation and impenetrability – the very embodiment of the unknown. It references multiple sources, including HR Giger’s alien and Grimm’s fairy tales.

362 | Paola Estrella
The Ball | 126×106 | Mixed media painting | £6200 | A series of hybrid creatures attend a Ball in a parallel dimension. For decades, balls or house cultures, have been spaces for experimentation and self-expression where elaborate performances incorporating and commenting on race, class, and gender historically reflect and exteriorize desires and dreams.
