Paula Rosa was born in Lisbon on 13 April 1970. At an early age she revealed a fascination for the Visual Arts and Design, which proceeded naturally in her academic training. In 1998 completed a degree in Design for Educational Facilities at the Institute Jean Piaget, Lisbon. In Sweden, she participated in conferences and workshops at the University of Halmstad and Nordic Center for Research on Toys and Educational Media and at Brio AB, Brio Scanditoy, where she participated in projects and studies. In addition, developed a variety of projects in the area of special equipment, targeted to individuals with chronic non-progressive encephalopathy, blind and partially sighted. Co-founder of HomoLudens Design, specialized in the creation of industrial equipment, graphic design and communication. In 2008, she completed a degree in Design of Equipment and Space at the Lusófona University in Lisbon.
Alongside her activity as a designer, she explored passionately various artistic languages and ways within the Visual Arts. Painting and Sculpture assumed a preferential status in her artistic activity. From the traditional canvas to the tridimensionality of forms, searched for new languages and sought new means of expression, conscious that "learning has the exact duration of a lifetime".
In 2000, she became aware of the importance of new digital technologies and how they have been revolutionizing the world of arts, starting a period of experimentation and exploration of the computer as a tool for artistic creation. The new digital screen displays up to Paula Rosa, as an "infinite canvas", full of possibilities and completely fascinating. From the digital technology results the "wonderful fusion of arts and emerge a completely new aesthetics, putting the artist in a captivating world where the fast development of resources and tools, feeds and continuously enriches the creative process".
Paula Rosa have explored new techniques, themes, tools and languages in the digital context, seeking to combine the different visual arts such as painting, photography, drawing, video and the wide area of Design, with music, architecture and literature.
