Paloma Bakchellian was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1990. The artist has been living between Buenos Aires and Sag Harbor, NY since 2015.
Bakchellian graduated from the Regina Pacis art school in 2016. She has participated in various group shows since 2011. Her first solo show in 2019 was done in collaboration with Ether Arts Project in the district of Palermo, City of Buenos Aires. Her work is in numerous private art collections in the USA, Mexico, Buenos Aires, and Australia. Some of her pieces in the home of one of her private collectors was recently showcased in Revista Living magazine (owned by “La Nación”).
In 2019 she donated two of her pieces to ‘French Presse Linens’ where they were auctioned, and all the profits went to the nonprofit organization Cancer Care. Most recently, Bakchellian was granted an artist residency at the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts in Greece for 2022.
My goal is to study and research new forms, noises and color. During my Tiny Birch Residency, I will mainly work on paper and if the space allows it, I may create some larger canvases. I always seek new environments and landscapes because I consider my work to be very influenced by where I created it and how I felt at the time. - Paloma Bakchellian
