"....la Foto es como un teatro primitivo, como un Cuadro Viviente, la figuración del aspecto inmóvil y pintarrajeado bajo el cual vemos a los muertos"....
de "la cámara lúcida"
Roland Barthes

"It is part of the photographer`s job to SEE more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at
the world for the first time or for the traveller who enters a strange country."

Bill Brandt

    "nadie como ella para interactuar con el espacio y con los objetos.
    nadie como ella para sorprender tanto con sus ideas locas y creativas.
    nadie como ella.
    me sigo preguntando cómo en un envase tan pequeño entra tanto talento ; )
    es mágia, pura magia.
    un placer y un honor tenerte de amiga"

    "Paula is for sure one of the most braves and talented artists in flickr but much more behind flickr. Of course her creativity , imagination and courage has no limits but one of the things i love more and i trully i admire is for sure her sense of a "woman" and go against all kinds of controls and tabus. She is what she do and i adore that freedom . also her work is so organic then even far , we are in . There.

    BRAVO Señorita!"

    "la paula es la más creativa de los artistas autoretrato. ella esculpe la evocación del misterio en la oscuridad. en la luz, la paula, escribe las historias de lo absurdo alegría, la política necesaria, y los viajes de la sensualidad.

    en alguna parte, ahora, hay canciones sobre la desaparecida en las escaleras, que hablan en los teléfonos rotos, mientras bailando hipnótica con árboles de plátano, antes de descansar en los muebles que queremos propia, simplemente porque la paula tocó con su arte.

    para entrar en el mundo de la paula es encontrar lo que una mujer puede hacer con una cámara. no hay nadie como ella. ella no puede ser imitado. y que es lo último de la adulación.



    la paula is the most creative of self-portrait artists. she carves the evocation of mystery into darkness. in light, la paula writes stories of the joyfully absurd, the necessary political, and the journeys of sensuality.

    somewhere, now, there are songs about vanishing women on staircases, who speak into broken telephones, while having a private, hypnotic dance with banana trees, before resting on furniture we want to own, simply because la paula has touched it with her artistry.

    to enter the world of la paula is to find what a woman can do with a camera. there is no one like her. she cannot be imitated. that is the final flattery.


    con mucho respecto,

    ~emmanuela"

    "Paula gives new meaning to creativity.
    Every day I hope for a new series of incredible images. She oozes talent and sensuality. Her images are captivating and more often then not, she leaves me with a lump in my throat. I am incredibly honored to know her and call her friend.... in hopes that some of her magic rubs off on me!

    "Es complicado, clasificar de alguna forma la Fotografía de Santocioelo; pues de hacerlo, la estaríamos limitando al mismo tiempo; pero quizás hablando de los que vemos en ella, nos ayudará.

    De su fotografía, nos sorprende lo dinámica que es, lo creativa, lo viva que esta en cada composición, con un movimiento constante, del que nos consigue embriagar, con una elegancia majestuosa.

    Si torpemente dijéramos que son todos simples autorretratos, cometeríamos un error. Cada instantánea, esta llena de vida, es una nueva mirada, de intimidad, que hace que te involucres de ella, que te fusiones, que te quedes embriagado mirándola durante largo tiempo, haciéndola tuya como observador, como testigo.

    Realmente, me siento dichoso, de poder conocer, de disfrutar, de la obra de artistas en la red, y sin lugar a dudas, me siento con suerte, de poder hacerlo, con la obra, de esta artista en mayúsculas; Santocielo; cuyas fotos, no se quieren, se aman."

    falù says:

    "Tra il "dentro" e il "fuori", di santocielo, non c'è differenza. La bellezza regna sovrana. Le teorie delle sue "sceneggiature", ci raccontano di un'intimità complessa, esoterica, direi. Anche le pieghe della sua carne, le linee dei corpi e delle cose, si mescolano in un divenire arcano. Ma il mistero si dissolve quando, colta di sorpresa, essa stessa, riempie lo spazio di forme fuggevoli, inconsistenti. Lì, in quel momento, quello che è "interiore" si manifesta lussurioso ma sereno. Il film di santocielo, non è diviso in tempi o episodi, si svolge in un unico rullo di fotogrammi, dove gli unici salti sono dati dalle giunture di montaggio, unioni date da quel nastro adesivo che, col tempo, ingiallirà, e sarà parte integrante dell'opera."

    "I've just discovered this amazing talent - comfort food for the eyes and soul

    santocielo - if I had a ton of money I'd commission for a series of prints

    when I have my own gallery - I will want you to show there and not even ask for a commission

    *jaw drops* - wow"

    "Paula es una artista en su estado mas salvaje.
    su instinto puede mas que la civilización. No puede ser domesticada y por eso es una fuente inagotable de arte en cada uno de sus actos cotidianos. Sus fotos son solo un palido reflejo de su espiritu. intima e inalcanzable."

    "Paula has the heart and the soul of a true artist, her work can take you away, by all means.... Her photos are silent time-bombs, blowing up randomly in your head, filling it up with emotions, stories, questions and then all over again.... She is unique, so is her art. I'm proud to call her my friend."
