Paula Castro

Paula Castro (b. 1978, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a visual artist. She studied Graphic Design at the University of Buenos Aires and in 2015 she participated in the Artists Program of Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. She received the 3rd prize in sculpture at the Visual Arts Contest of FNA (2020), the Creation Scholarship from FNA (2019), the Oxenford Collection Travel Grant (2018), and the Individual Aid for Plastic Arts Projects from the City Hall of Paris, France (2011). She had solo and group shows in Argentina, France, Belgium, Spain, and the United States. Castro has lived in Paris for eight years and currently resides in Buenos Aires.

The Grant will be used for the production of sculptural works conceived in relation to the public space, based on an ongoing research project. The artist will produce a series of sculptural recreational games that review and investigate playful situations found in fragments of works from Argentine art history.
