BIOGRAPHY
Paula Blumenfeld lives and
paints in the greater NYC area.
She is fascinated by color and by the human body. Whether abstract or figurative, her paintings begin with the figure or its elements. She paints intimate figurative portraits,
capturing the emotional state and inner strength of the subject. In addition, she creates abstract paintings which allow her to exclusively focus on composition and color.
