welcome to , an art + literature magazine.
Derived from the Latin palumbus, paloma means dove. Free and serene, paloma is airborne, soaring on high; feminine, delicate, agile, moving through the sky with ease and grace.
Paloma is also a spirited grapefruit and tequila cocktail. Sweet, bitter, and bold, paloma is a swig of liquid courage, a tangy sour shot, enjoyed amongst friends. As we conceive of it, paloma magazine represents a space to be joint to others by creativity and camaraderie—both peaceful and passionate, a symbol of hope and a shot of liquor.
