Paola Oxoa (b. 1979 Medellin, Colombia) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in the Hudson Valley, New York.
Oxoa’s abstract paintings and films are investigations into, and recordings of— moments of awareness. Through her work she reflects and seeks to understand the world within and without. By fusing landscape and the body as fluid containers of shared energies, she bypasses representing what is seen in favor of what is felt, intuited, or understood. Oxoa’s work synthesizes and communicates perceptual experience via the formal elements of art.
Oxoa’s work has been featured in Two Coats of Paint, NYLON, Art in America, Artillery Magazine, Rocky Mountain News, and The Denver Post among other publications. Oxoa’s work is in the permanent collection of The Bass Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami Beach, FL.
Oxoa founded and curated exhibitions at Mother Gallery from 2018 - 2023. Oxoa’s curatorial work has been featured or reviewed in publications including The New York Times, Hyperallergic, The Art Newspaper, Two Coats of Paint, Artnet, The Brooklyn Rail, and Whitewall.
