Comic In February: Power Paola

Comic In February: Power Paola

Goodness me, January has been long. But now it’s February and we have a new month and a new comic illustrator. This month we feature Columbian artist Power Paola. I’m particularly excited about her purple portrait series which she, as she reveals in her interview,  drew in the cafés of Buenos Aries just for you lovely Ronsters and I. Read the whole conversation here.

I'm intrigued by your name. Can you tell me something about the name Power Paola

My name is Paola, but I was baptized at the metro Montreuil in Paris in 2003 as Power Paola. I don’t know if it was a mistake or it was magic. I was crying, I was in Paris and I was lost in the banlieue, and an afro-descendant guy asked my name, I said, «Je m’appelle Paola,» and he replied me back, «Power?» I repeated to him, «No, Paola.» 
I wrote my name in the ticket and gave it to him: Paola. And he wrote me back: Power Paola.

Ad

Please tell me something about you and your career (current job title, education, current projects).

I work as an illustrator and as an artist. I studied visual arts in Medellin, Colombia and I graduated as a painter. Then I live in Paris at La Cité Internationale des Arts for two years, I had my first solo show there at Miss China RUE FRANÇAISE, a gallery only for women at that moment. I started to get interested in comics there, I read a lot of comics to learn french and I found it was the perfect way to say the things that I wanted to communicate.I studied bookbinding and printing in Australia, and at Sydney I started making auto fictional comics.

Tell me about the illustrations that will be featured in the newsletter. What kind of works are they?

Purple People is a series of portraits of people of Buenos Aires in Summer of 2023. I drew them for you guys. I wanted to show you day by day while you were in winter, how the people were at the city, the cafés and plazas, with purple ink (an spiritual color). I like the idea of presence, transformation and the connection with people when I draw them in situ. In a world where nowadays individuality grows, we lost the ways of connection with others in presence, so I found it very powerful for me and others to have that space and time. I will do the same thing in Luzern at my residence at Fumetto, at the historic Hotel Schweizerhof and the streets around. I have to explore the city and meet the people there.

Ad
As a child, what profession did you want to have as an adult?


Air Hostess and I love insects so I wanted to be an entomologist as well. 

How would you describe your style of drawing? 


I remember «Animal», a guy in Sydney when he saw my work at Firstdraft Gallery, he said my work was social-expresionist-postpunk-postnaïve and I liked it, hehe.

Ad
What themes / topics are close to your heart and important for your work?

Daily Life, people, identity, love, feminism, queer, immigration, ecology.

What are some things that bring you joy right now?


Be close to nature, walk and draw in the city, talk with a friends, read, write and ride my bike. 

Ad


What do you love drawing the most?

I love to draw people, plantas, animals. Draw the alive.This month I started painting my plants and I’m learning a lot about structures, the attention and transformation in another way. Is another thing that give me joy.

Is there something that a lot of people don’t know about you?


I almost drew five thousand drawings for the movie Virus Tropical by Santiago Caicedo, based in my graphic novel, I Love Jung and I was part of the collectives: La Casa Telepática, Chicks on Comics and Taller 7.

Ad

Why are illustrations/comics/cartoon special and what can they do that other media can’t? 

I like the way they connect with people, the language is so direct. The symbiosis of text and image is magical. With paintings you got the attention or connection in another way but with the readers you got an instant connection, it’s so directly, so easy, It flows.

I'm looking forward to seeing you illustrations over the course of the month PowerPaola.

City talk: video tip


I am a volunteer at PAFI, a small foundation in Switzerland that supports 200 children from an underprivileged community in Brazil to go to school and eat a warm meal per day. Recently, we fulfilled the children's dream of a sports field. To complete the project, install plumbing and buy sport equipment we are looking for some additional funding. Because we don't have any administrative costs, every cent benefits the children directly. Here is the link to the project: https://www.crowdify.net/de/projekt/sport-pausenplatz
Does anyone know organisations and foundations in Switzerland that we could contact to supporting our project?

City talk


We are a small group meeting on a monthly basis to discuss a book and usually have dinner together afterwards (not obligatory).
We meet in Zurich and our October book is: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
If you would like to join please send me a PM through RonOrp and I will send you all other details.
