Born in Liverpool and based in New York for over three decades, Paul brings a designer’s precision and a storyteller’s instinct to his painting practice. His long career as a creative and graphic artist shapes his measured approach to colour, composition, and the framing required within both.
Working beyond the figurative, his paintings move toward the uncanny and the metaphysical, spaces where emotion takes precedence over depiction. He creates contemplative, distilled scenes that invite pause, placing his subjects within a landscape that refines, refracts their psychological state and condition.
Influences such as Giorgio de Chirico, David Hockney, and Eric Fischl echo subtly throughout the work, yet his visual language remains distinctly his own. Symbolic motifs recur: the stillness of swimming pools, the silence of vacated buildings, the spaces caught between competing animating presences some human some distinctly not. Water, in particular, becomes a site of reflection and immersion both literal and psychological.
At the core of his practice is an interest in discontinuity. His subjects and settings exist in a threshold state, suspended between what is known and what is felt. Through deliberate composition and symbolic cues, he reaches toward meaning that lies beyond appearance yet is exemplified with it, exploring the existential terrain where we we all exist experiencing both clarity and uncertainty.

Sudden, Painting, Oil on Canvas
By Janos Kujbus
Located in Yardley, PA
Original work - big painting in contemporary pop art style from hungarian artist Janos Kujbus. Story about painting: "There are many ways to gain a woman and probably even more ways to lose her. Sometimes it's a gradual process, other times it all happens all of a sudden. Especially the loss ... Like when, in the wild, nothing threatening gray clouds suddenly cover the azure sky and a storm starts to rise above our heads. We can't prevent a storm, but we can prevent losses ... Let's not let our happiness be stolen!" Despite the fact that Janos Kujbus belongs to the younger generation of Hungarian fine artists, we can rightly place his work among the top works of contemporary European art. His figurative paintings in the style of modern pop art amaze not only their size (often exceeding two meters), but also the peculiarities of their form and content. On the big canvases...
