Paul is a painter, wood carver and printmaker, whose style balances between pop-surrealism and psychedelic. He is influenced by Salvador Dali, German expressionists and the aesthetics of Art Nouveau.
Paul reflects on modern consumerism culture, which obliges people to constantly waste and buy new things. Many of his artworks contain an image of a TV set, a car or a fast food cup. These three objects are epitomes of the misplaced priorities of a materialistic world in
which people are too obsessed with their possessions and status and will never refuse them, despite the discomfort and harm they cause.
