MEET THE ARTIST
Hello, I’m Paula — welcome to my sketchbook
Before Blue Van Art, my days were spent in engineering. While searching for a happier, more meaningful life, I realised that creativity was one of my core values — and it had never been given enough space.
So I started sketching. Then experimenting. Then watercolour — and quite unexpectedly, a real passion was born. Today I paint in watercolour and acrylic, and I’m dreaming of larger acrylic canvases.
“Every piece is made to bring a little warmth, colour and joy into everyday spaces.”
Paula J. Cisternas · Artist & founder
FOR YOUR HOME
Art for Beautiful Spaces
