Paula Elena Ramos

Bio

From Valencia (Spain), with a degree in Social Sciences, she began her artistic career in video and performing arts. She later obtained a Master's degree in Contemporary Photography from LENS (Madrid) and, since then, has developed an interdisciplinary practice that places photography at its center, in dialogue with video, poetic writing, archives, and performance.

Her work addresses issues such as family, violence, and the body, articulated through a critical lens toward established systems and permeated by a constant poetic sensibility. She uses self-reference to validate subjective experience as a source of political knowledge.

In parallel, she conducts theoretical research focused on analyzing technical devices as agents that create symbolic dimensions shaping the meaning of the image.

Her work has been recognized through various grants and awards, such as the Baffest Festival, the Royal Photographic Society, the I Paco Casanova Photography Grant, and PHotoESPAÑA Discoveries. She has exhibited and published both nationally and internationally.
