Paula Klien was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1968. Although she employs ancestral techniques in her drawings and paintings, Paula was a pioneer in Crypto Art and NFTs (non-fungible tokens). A multidisciplinary artist and avant-garde creative director, she also works with performance and video, drawing on her diverse background, including dance and music. She was also a photographer for ten years, producing culturally relevant work. Many of her artworks are held in museum and private collections. She studied Law before dedicating herself fully to the arts. Writing has long been a passion, and Todas as Minhas Mortes [All My Deaths] marks her debut in the literary world.
“Striking, impactful, and provocative. It is an intense emotional experience to live our own deaths through each of Laví’s deaths. Prepare yourselves to feel the powerful ambivalence that Paula Klien’s narrative awakens in our seemingly lifeless inner world.”
Arnaldo Goldenberg – psychoanalyst, SBPRJ
“With Todas as Minhas Mortes, artist Paula Klien brings fresh vitality to contemporary literary discourse through her own distinct values and concepts, creating a work that is tense, dense, and forward-looking. She addresses multiple facets of the feminine experience with a disarming sincerity. The book invites a deep reflection on the complexity of human experience. Its content, like Paula herself, is profoundly engaging!”
Heitor Reis – cultural manager.
“Todas as Minhas Mortes is an account of unbearable lucidity. It was only with great daring that Paula could construct a text so true, intense, and complex. She deepens the reader’s thought in a dive into the world of subjectivity.”
Maria de Fátima Freire – psychoanalyst, Psychoanalytic Association of Rio de Janeiro State.
“Todas as Minhas Mortes is an intense book – an honest narrative and a valuable testament to perseverance. It is a novel written in a stream-of-consciousness style, an open letter, a confessional text with significant humanitarian value. There are echoes of Rimbaud’s A Season in Hell. I jotted down some notes while reading the first fifteen pages, but soon found myself so absorbed by the narrative that I read it through at one go without interruption. I can only imagine the difficulty of offering such a courageous testimony, presented without self-pity.”
Marcos Ferreira Pires de Campos – professor of art history, voracious reader, and curator.
