A native of Lisbon, Portugal, Paulo has lived most of his life abroad–England, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and the United States. His work encompasses oil painting, often incorporating encaustic and marble dust; assemblage; and bronze, marble, and ceramic sculpture. He first attended art school in Lisbon, and continued his studies abroad before coming to New York in the 1970s where he managed the Ohio, an off-off-Broadway theater, His artistic vision has been influenced by Sol LeWitt, Frank Stella, Van Gogh, Turner, Delacroix, and velvet paintings. The basic desire to create has driven the spirit on a dialogue of paradox, sentiment, and esthetics reflecting the different cultures of this planet in the space that exists between an object and its observer. Paulo's professional experience includes interior and graphic design, theater production and management, marketing, studio photography, and commercial illustration. His work has been exhibited in San Francisco's Vorpal Gallery, the Mexican Consulate, the Mendocino Art Center, and other galleries and cafes od northern California, Ibiza, New York and Lisbon. Among his illustration clients are Stags' Leap Winery, Beringer Vineyards, and North Coast Brewing Company. Commissions include San Francisco Center for the Book, Philly's Restaurant in Ibiza, the Ohio Theater in New York, and Display WIndow designs for the Escalade and Estée Lauder stores in London, along with private commissions. |
