Paulin Studios is the painting practice of Paula Alcalde, a self-taught artist working primarily in oil. Her work is grounded in representational painting, with a focus on form, proportion, and visual restraint. Drawing from classical observation and still-life traditions, the practice emphasizes controlled palettes, material precision, and composed silhouettes.

Working through layered oil techniques, each painting is developed slowly, prioritizing balance, surface quality, and structural clarity. She is based in Barcelona, Spain.
