Paula Bonet is a multidisciplinary artist, painter, and writer known for her dynamic exploration of various mediums, including oil painting, printmaking, and illustration. A graduate of the Fine Arts program at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, she has furthered her education in Santiago de Chile, New York, and Urbino. Bonet’s artistic journey is characterised by a continual evolution, moving away from her early drawing style to focus on personal identity and themes relevant to women, such as sexuality, childbirth, and abortion. She has published over nine books, including La Sed (2016) and Roedores. Cuerpo de embarazada sin embrión (2018), which address poignant societal issues. Her work has been exhibited internationally in cities such as Barcelona, Paris, and London, and she received the Medal for Cultural Merit from the Valencian Government in 2018. Currently, Bonet presents L’anguila. The Flesh as Painting and Painting as Mirror at the Fundació Vila Casas, merging her painting with literary themes to foster deep connections between text and visual art.
