Born in Mexico and now based in Madrid, Paloma Rincón is a visual artist who works with still and moving images in a quirky style, characterized by vibrant colors and graphic compositions. With a degree in audiovisual communication, she honed her craft working alongside commercial photographers, which gave her a comprehensive understanding of the field and gradually helped her develop her own unique artistic language. Her love of saturated colors owes much to her childhood in Mexico and the unique light she experienced there. Today, Paloma creates visual plays in a playful language where the meaning of objects is redefined through unexpected juxtapositions, at the intersection of photography, sculpture, design, and illustration. Her physical works seem to emerge from the digital realm: synesthetic representations where texture, light, and color blur the boundary between the real and the unreal. She observes her everyday environment with the same attention she devotes to nature and cultivates a resolutely slow relationship with time, one built on meticulous observation and embraced constraints, where each image becomes an entry in a visual journal. She works on both personal experimental pieces and commercial projects for international brands and publications.
Represented worldwide, Paloma Rincón has collaborated with Coca-Cola, Google, Toyota, Ford, Bombay Sapphire, Sonos, Swatch, Absolut, Samsung, Vodafone, and IKEA, as well as with publications such as Wired Magazine, Architectural Digest, and Esquire. Her personal work has been exhibited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. A jury member for several industry events, she also regularly speaks at conferences and masterclasses around the world, where she shares her approach and vision of contemporary still life.

My Garden is a personal series I began one year ago with the intention of connecting with both my garden and myself, as an exercise in exploring my immediate surroundings. By setting the boundaries of using only what I find in the garden at that specific time of year, the process becomes unique, shaped by the continuous transformation of the vegetation with the changing seasons and the natural development of the environment.
Initially, I felt frustrated by the limited options available. The garden seemed dormant, conserving its energy for better weather. However, this challenge became a deeply rewarding experience as I learned that finding beauty sometimes requires patience. What I eventually discovered weren’t bold colors or striking shapes, but rather more subtle elements: the gentle sway of a branch, the layered textures of a log and lichen, and the power of composition to transform the ordinary into something special. This season taught me the value of deep focus, seeing from new perspectives, and stepping outside of my comfort zone; you can’t use anything you imagine (and buy it), you just have what you have.
Moreover, the holly tree, was the most vibrant and eye catching species in the garden. It wasn´t easy to create a composition that felt timeless and didn´t scream Christmasy, mostly because it was around that time of the year.
