Paul Nicholls...Artist
Paul Nicholls was born in Manchester in 1971, but at the age of four moved with his family to a small village in Wales. It was here that Paul Nicholls love of the British coastline was born which was to inspire Paul's artwork for many years to come.
Paul Nicholls has been working as an illustrator for several years, fulfilling commissions for advertising, books and an animated TV series. Since winning the DeMontfort New Artist Competition in 2005, Paul Nicholls has devoted himself to fine art and has found it a revelation: "I love the feeedom to use my instinct and to paint without constraint."
Paul's bold and stylized landscapes originate in his surroundings. Paul Nicholls lives in the Snowdonia National Park, one of the most beautiful areas of the UK where inspiration waits round every corner. Paul also has family in both France and Spain so the blues and golds of a Mediterranean summer find their way into much of his work. Paul's distinctive images are a fascinating combination of observation and interpretation. Once Paul has a scene in his view he simplifies the shapes and colours. By splitting the image into sections and playing with planes, angles and shades, Paul encourages us to look at the world in a way which is both fresh and liberating.
