Welcome to my gallery on Saatchi, the vibrant world of Paul Harmsen, a versatile Dutch artist who paints, creates captivating videos, and designs unique artwear, gaywear, menswear. Born in Doetinchem, Netherlands.
Myvartistic journey took a transformative turn when I transitioned from a successful hairdressing career to pursuemy passion at the Gerrit Rietveld art academy in Amsterdam.

With a background in costume design for television and theater,My artistic spirit was temporarily overshadowed. However, a bold decision to sell my house and business, along with a move to France, reignited my artistic flame. Operating an art studio/gallery alongside a bed and breakfast, my work organically found its way into the hearts and homes of admirers.

In 2018, I, Paul and my husband moved to Aix en Provence, and despite facing the challenges of the Covid era, I embraced new artistic endeavors. my relocation to Spain in 2002, marked the inception of a pioneering fashion company specializing in menswear adorned with prints inspired by his eclectic artworks.
