Born of Hungarian and Dominican parents, Paul's family fled the political upheaval in the Dominican Republic, after the collapse of the Trujillo dictatorship to the stability of Puerto Rico. Paul studied art at La Liga de Estudiantes de Arte de San Juan, and at 17 he moved to Massachusetts to study art and design at UMASS Dartmouth (Swain School of Design) from where he graduated. He continued (and continues) his studies in art at the Cooper Union Continuing Education program and abroad and most recently at Art New England at Bennington College in Vermont. In 2005, Paul went on to win an American Graphic Design Magazine Award and in 2016 the Kenise Barnes Fine Arts / Julia B. Fee Sotheby's Award at the Larchmont Arts Festival. His mixed media work has been featured in juried exhibitions and solo shows both regionally and nationally and in 2014 in Elle Decor's October issue. Paul has called NYC home since 1995 and continues to work from his home studio in the East Village.
