Paul Ygartua
Biography
Paul Ygartua, english by birth, studied at the Liverpool Art College before deciding to take off across the ocean and immigrate to Canada. His adventure into the art world began in the 1960s in Vancouver, BC. His inspiring West Coast Indian chief portraits first brought him recognition. These quickly led to his large scale murals, the most famous being for the United Nations pavilion during Expo 86 in Vancouver. His style has evolved throughout the years, experimenting with completely different techniques and styles. Today, he creates vibrantly coloured abstracts that express a freedom of brush that can only come from experience. For more information about Paul, please visit his website www.ygartua.com

A good artist should be able to paint fast. The great ones do, Turner died at 76 and left 19,000 original paintings to the British government in his will. Gainsborough, like Paul, rarely went over the same brush stroke twice. Paul won't be leaving as many works as Turner in his will, for they are sold almost as fast as he can paint them.

In each work that I am going to begin, I put all my passion, feelings and will, in order to conceive something new and create with my brushes a fantasy capable of stirring the imagination.
