Street Art: Paula Sousa’s work explores the vulnerability of nature

The Big Issue’s Street Art page gives talented, marginalised individuals an outlet for creative expression

‘We’re In Different Worlds’

by Paula Sousa 

Paula is a visual artist working with mixed media on paper who draws a lot of inspiration from so-called “outsider art”.

“I am particularly interested in expressing vulnerable states of mind,” she says. “My own, other people’s and the vulnerability I see in nature.

My work is often layered, revealing and concealing. I’m also interested in invisibility and what is perceived beauty and imperfections.”
