Often exploring the intersection between the human body and the natural environment, Paulo’s practice reflects themes of ecology, technology, and transformation. His installations, videos, and large-scale works capture the shifting relationship between people, landscapes, and systems, creating poetic reflections on the impact of the Anthropocene. He frequently works with organic and digital processes, building immersive environments that visualise hidden energies and emotional landscapes.

Central to Paulo’s work is the idea of mapping—what he describes as “emotional cartographies.” Through layered imagery, sound, and moving forms, he explores how environments store memory and how individuals respond to the invisible rhythms that shape their surroundings. His pieces often function as sensory instruments, inviting audiences to experience the balance between fragility and resilience, presence and absence, matter and antimatter.

As a socially engaged artist and collaborator, Paulo co-founded initiatives that bring together artists, scientists, and communities, including residencies and publishing platforms dedicated to experimental practices. These projects create space for dialogue around sustainability, extinction, and the merging of biological and technological futures.

Paulo’s work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions across Europe and internationally, from Lisbon to Milan, Warsaw, Rio de Janeiro, and Rotterdam. His practice extends beyond the gallery into site-specific projects, public installations, and teaching, where he continues to challenge how art can act as both a mirror of ecological change and a catalyst for new ways of imagining the world.
