After graduating as a civil engineer from the University of A Coruña, completing a master's degree in Transport and Sustainable Development at Imperial College London and working for seven years designing engineering structures, Paula decided to devote herself entirely to ceramics. "I realised that this craft allowed me to express myself by applying my knowledge as an engineer and bringing a new perspective to it". In 2015 she moved to Vigo in Galicia and set up Ojea Studio, where she creates ceramics that play with the viewer's point of view and combine precision and irregularity, accuracy and imperfection. She draws inspiration from the coastal environment, shipyards, port cranes and the fishing activities of the Rías Baixas, the region where she lives, and from engineering and architectural works such as skyscrapers, bridges and metal structures.
