Born and raised in Los Angeles, Pau has been an artist since she could hold a pencil. Art has always been a consistent and essential part of her life.
During high school, Pau lived in Santiago, Chile, with her father, where she attended a top-tier art school. Alongside her formal education, she took private after-school lessons with a professional artist, which sparked her deep love for figure drawing. After returning to Los Angeles, Pau began her professional art career, creating numerous murals throughout the city and more recently in Milan, Italy. Highlights of her work include designing and painting promotional art for Lana Del Rey’s world tour.
In 2021, Pau was living in Hollywood and came across a vacant space on Melrose Avenue. That space became Pauhaus – a vibrant, creative hub born from her passion for art and community. What started with the Melrose Drawing Club, a twice-weekly figure drawing session, quickly evolved into a venue for comedy shows, open mics, exhibitions, and other community-driven events. Today, Pauhaus is a flourishing home for artists, musicians, comedians, and creatives of all kinds.
Pau is now exploring opportunities to expand Pauhaus to other cities, continuing her mission to create inclusive, inspiring spaces for creativity and connection. If you’re interested in being part of this vision or supporting the expansion, reach out at pau@pauhausgallery.com.
