Paloma Bakchellian (b. 1990, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an abstract painter based in Long Island, NY. Her work explores the tension between spontaneity and structure through a dynamic interplay of paint and torn pieces of paper. Working primarily on large canvases, she creates compositions that merge fluid sweeping paint with carefully placed paper fragments, forming vertical, abstract landscapes that suggest movement and depth.

Bakchellian studied at Regina Pacis Art School in San Isidro, Argentina, graduating in 2016. Since 2010, she has participated in various group exhibitions, and her work is held in private collections across the U.S., Mexico, Argentina, and Australia.

In 2021, she relocated full-time to the U.S., where her studio in the woods of Sag Harbor serves as both a retreat and a source of inspiration. While her paintings evoke natural elements, she deliberately avoids direct representation, instead focusing on materiality, texture, and the interaction between controlled and organic forms.

Through her layered process, Bakchellian invites viewers to engage with the physicality of her work-where each torn edge and fluid gesture contributes to an evolving dialogue of movement and restraint.
