Paul Stewart is a New Zealander travelling widely and living in different countries and cultures since 2007. Troubled by an aching hip in 2003, Paul felt he should start painting as was suggested to him some years earlier. As soon as he did the hip healed and five studious evenings later, his first piece was complete. This renewed a loving and peaceful relationship with the art form. 

​

Pauls paintings are very much an energetic experience created from peace. They often feature subtle forms, figures and energy that manifests automatically from the artists state of being. They are an adventure to paint and also, to view. They bring energy to a space. 

​

Paul currently resides in Melbourne, Australia after 9 years in Japan absorbing and aligning with much inspiration from both the culture and the land. He has also lived for 5 years in the Middle East and visited more than fifty countries to date.

Paul's Method

​

With a preference for oil on canvas, Paul bases each panting on a feeling or energetic concept. The painting usually starts as a vision or partial vision. From there, it is simply a matter of establishing a peaceful mood and beginning.

 

The less thought, the better! Time taken ranges from an hour to weeks or months and in one case, years. The key to the process has been allowing the paintings to emerge from within in stillness, through the brush, and onto the canvas. 

​​

The painting then finds a home with the person or people, which it is for.
