BE OPEN Art is pleased to announce Paloma Bautista as the Artist of the Month for May 2026. Originally from the Canary Islands and now based in Finland, Bautista is an architect, designer, and visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores the creation of atmospheres through color, form, and spatial sensitivity.
Holding a Master of Architecture degree, Bautista brings a deep understanding of structure, balance, and environment to her artistic work. Across visual art, design, and spatial interventions, she investigates how color can shape emotional and sensory experiences, using it as the central element of her creative language. Her work reflects a thoughtful dialogue between architecture and art, where composition, materiality, and perception converge to create immersive and evocative environments.
Each month, BE OPEN Art presents 20 artists for public voting, with monthly winners advancing to compete for the Artist of the Year 2026 title. The overall winner will receive a €1,000 prize and promotional support from BE OPEN Art.
We warmly congratulate Paloma on this well-deserved recognition and thank her for her inspiring contribution to the BE OPEN Art community.
