Paula Querido (b. 1992) is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and currently based in New York  City. She holds a BA in Studio Arts from Bard College (2014) and an MFA in Painting from  the New York Studio School (2023). She has received awards such as the Hohenberg  Travel Award, the Gerald L. Lennard Scholarship, and has been a two-time recipient of the  Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant. Her paintings show figures in scenes composed from images in art, history, and from  personal experience, lived and dreamed. Her compositions are guided by her interest in a  musical and pictorial sense of color and a harmony that makes a unique and coherent  language in her paintings.
