In his new exhibition, “Atmospheric Rivers”, he once again transforms natural elements (water, wind, clouds) into portraits of his emotional geography.

Frequent the work of Paula Senderowicz (Buenos Aires, 1973) is a constant between science and poetry. His “landscapes”, to which he has always dedicated himself from the beginning, have nothing bucolic or peaceful, they focus on pictorial explosions, waves à la Hokusai, interested in the movement of water, and like the great Japanese artist, Senderowicz It tries to address its characteristic rhythms, speed, stillness, fluidity, fall, in the storm or in the calm, transformations that respond to the ephemeral and that today constitute an alarm signal, questioning the responsibility that falls on man in his predatory desire.

On several occasions we have accompanied his career, his project for Telefónica in 2004, the screen in which his overwhelming painting stood out in the Libertad Palace, which allowed us to enter the space of exuberant nature; in 2005 at the MALBA, where he presented an installation that was impossible to forget: a freezer with mountains of colored ice: blue, violet, cobalt, and that the viewer sensed was going to melt. Like now in his current exhibition titled “Atmospheric rivers” that Isabel Plantein his curatorial text, describes what in climatology refers to the water currents that move with the winds, like clouds.

Everything or almost everything alludes to water, therefore, it flows, it will disappear, ephemeral because several of the works on display, covered by an acrylic bell, will become water during the course of the exhibition. Landscapes not at all conventional. Senderowicz He once noted “landscapes are, for me, emotional geographies, personal selections with the territory, unrepeatable perceptual experiences.”

An artist with a vast career, we point out a brief summary here, he obtained important scholarships, National Fund for the Arts 2016/2021, Fundación Telefónica, Fundación Antorchas. She carried out residencies at the Banff Center (Canada), obtained first prizes such as that of the Ministry of Culture in 2023, and was selected for the Trabucco Painting Prize in 2021.

She was a student of Juan Doffo who often represented fire in his painting, who transmitted to her the fact of thinking about the work and the pictorial activity as a ritual and sharing a romantic look at the landscape.
