Who are you and what do you do? Hi! My name is Paula Hemm. I’m a Brazilian visual activist and creative designer. When I’m not in front of a computer drawing or creating something I like to travel. These are my main sources of inspiration: the experience of unknown places and meeting new people along the way.
Current city: Today I share my time between Skopje, North Macedonia, and Milan, Italy.
Clients: Comas, Smithsonian Fondation, Plural Kids, Tá boa?
How did you make these? Everything starts with a coffee and newspapers that give me the idea about the topics of the day. Then I open a tab of visual references on my computer, which is always a tangle of things and memories, and begin to create. I develop lines and finish with the color palette directly in Illustrator.
Why did you make these? Four years ago I decided to move out of Brazil for the world. Drawing became the way I connect to the world and the way the world shows me its invisibilities. Since then I have been drawing every day.
What do people typically say about your work? They are interested in my work because of the context of my images. I create images that speak about feminism, politics and sexuality. When there is identification with the subject, emotional exchange and empathy happen.
