The heiress might just be the next big name in the world of pop art — one of her works has already been exhibited in the Corey Helford gallery in Los Angeles

Paris Hilton holds many titles &mdash; the OG influencer, reality TV star, singer, DJ, beauty entrepreneur... And now, artist can be added to that list, because the heiress is the latest celebrity to venture into the world of art. Specifically, pop art.&nbsp;

Having had extra time on her hands while in self-isolation, Hilton apparently spent a lot of time in her home studio painting.&nbsp;

&quot;I have been an artist since I was a little girl,&quot; she revealed in an interview with Forbes. &quot;I&#39;ve built an art room in every home I&#39;ve ever owned. It&#39;s so important to me to have that space in my house to be creative.&quot;

One of the socialite&#39;s&nbsp;works went on display at the Corey Helford gallery in Los Angeles as part of the Onch-curated group show, Sweet Sixteen. Titled &quot;I Dream Of Paris&quot;, the painting features a portrait of Hilton herself, clad in a leotard, knee-high boots and opera gloves, and sporting a sparkling tiara and a Juicy Couture handbag. She is surrounded by a collage of sequinned butterflies, cats and rainbows.&nbsp;

&quot;My &#39;I Dream Of Paris&#39; piece represents the dreams and goals I had for myself when I was young,&quot; she explains. &quot;It is almost like a mood board of everything I aspired to have or be like when I grew up.&quot;

The painting has already been auctioned off to benefit the Starlight Children&#39;s Foundation, and Hilton has also promised to host a dinner in her own home for the highest bidder.&nbsp;

&quot;The importance of being a philanthropist is something that has been instilled in me since I was little,&quot; she said. &quot;I feel so blessed in life and it&#39;s so important to give back.&quot;

Hilton lists Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Ai Weiwei, Damien Hirst, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/alex-israel-brings-a-pop-of-colour-to-his-louis-vuitton-textile-collaboration">Alex Israel</a>, David LaChappelle, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/takashi-murakami-is-challenging-art-as-we-know-it">Takashi Murakami</a> and Salvador Dal&iacute; among her sources of inspiration.&nbsp;

This isn&#39;t the first time Hilton has spoken up about her love of art. A few months ago, she shared a tour of her studio&nbsp;&mdash; and her masterpieces&nbsp;&mdash; on her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3OS6Hp4f9s">YouTube channel</a>. She also has a YouTube Originals documentary in store for fans, which will premiere on September 14.&nbsp;
