Paula Elion

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Stockholm, originally from Argentina and Israel. My work explores themes of memory, identity, gender, and migration, often drawing from personal and cultural narratives. Utilizing materials such as canvas, textiles, and found objects, I create pieces that invite viewers to engage with layered stories and emotions. As a member of the Detroit Stockholm artist collective, I have exhibited in Sweden, Israel, Germany, and beyond.

Artist Diploma, Hamidrasha School of Art, Beit Berl College, Israel (2005–2009)
