ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is one of my first oil paintings (2009?) And it was intended as a study (of oil paint.) It is one of my paintings in private ownership. It is painted after a photo from +/- 1900 by the family of John (copy in possession). I now see that it is not so much a artistic work, but rather a study. Oil paint was new to me and I initially used it as acrylic paint ... which of course didn't work that way. Only after a long struggle did the painting come about as it is today and ... did I become enthusiastic about oil painting. I may have put the price on the high side but ... I wonder if I want to sell it! It may not be a big artistic work, but it was the start of a long search for what I actually wanted as an artist ... and I'm still looking.

Born in Doetinchem, Netherlands, Paul's artistic journey took a transformative turn when he transitioned from a successful hairdressing career to pursue his passion at the Gerrit Rietveld art academy in Amsterdam. With a background in costume design for television and theater, Paul's artistic spirit was temporarily overshadowed. However, a bold decision to sell his house and business, along with a move to France, reignited his artistic flame. Operating an art studio/gallery alongside a bed and breakfast, his work organically found its way into the hearts and homes of admirers. In 2018, Paul and his husband moved to Aix en Provence, and despite facing the challenges of the Covid era, Paul embraced new artistic endeavors. His relocation to Spain in 2002, marked the inception of "Paulsartworld," a pioneering fashion company specializing in menswear adorned with prints inspired by his eclectic artworks.

As a self-proclaimed maverick, Paul refuses to be confined to a specific style or category, making it a challenge to label his work as purely art, kitsch, or fashion.
