ARTWORK
“My Artworks are a process that allows me to access healing dimensions. While creating them, my soul dances and sings to the rhythm of unconditional love. I entrust myself completely to the energies from the Universe that flow through me, which manifest the guidance I need in the moment to shift my physical and spiritual bodies. Each calligraphy is governed by different light languages which are spiritual activators for further healing. Simultaneously, the sacred geometries represent an aspect of the universal matrix to which our souls belong. Each work is blessed with its own unique Mantra which helps to dive deeper into its healing frequencies. All my creations are part of a greater spiritual journey, moving me toward discovering more of my soul.”
Through a meditative process, Paola incorporates sacred geometry, symbolic keys, and codes, infusing her works with hidden meanings and energies to be perceived differently by each viewer. Each piece is carefully brought to life by applying various techniques such as Islamic illumination, sacred calligraphy, Japanese Sumi-e painting, Persian miniature and the Nepali traditional Paubha mandala painting. Paola layers pencil, paint, gold and silver leaf, go-fun, natural pigments and ink to make her unique aesthetic language, creating a transcendent body of work that reveals the invisible forces within the physical realm and beyond.
Her paintings act as a kind of technology: her richly colored visual journeys open doorways to self-discovery, inviting us to be present, to transcend the boundaries of the physical, and connect deeply with the essence of both ourselves and nature.
PRAISES:
“Space is in the mind, and the right visual signals––whether in the fabric of a city or on a sheet of paper––can trigger surprising discoveries of dimensions that seemed out of reach. Paola Bay’s Portals can trick even the most recalcitrant mind into escaping its logical limitations to get in touch with its cosmological imagination, using visual focus as a tool. Is it meditation, you will ask? Of a certain kind, perhaps best suited for people that are led by their curious eyes to realise that they, too, are just portals”. – Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York
“Paola’s works are gifts from the Stars” - Grandmother Renee Thomas-Hill of the Mohawk Nation Turtle Clan from the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, Canada
“She is a master of the geometry of life, the sound frequencies of love, and the intention of grace moving into the human force field through the deepest level of creation and mystery.”
