Paul is a Brisbane-based artist specialising in oil painting and portraiture. My practice is influenced by the old masters and pop art, particularly poster and advertising art from the 1960s and 70s. His vibrant images capture people and the everyday with intensity and personality. He works within two genres, realism and contemporary. My portraits often blend classical technique with modern themes, creating a compelling tension between tradition and innovation. He is drawn to expressive colour, bold composition, and capturing the unique essence of my subjects, often incorporating symbolism.

Paul has been a finalist in the Archibald Prize, Brisbane Portrait Prize twice, Clayton Utz Art Award, Lethbridge 20000, and Rotary Art Prize, to name a few. His work continues to evolve as he explore new narratives, engages with contemporary culture, and pushes the boundaries of portraiture and contemporary painting.
