About Paul Griggs

Inspired by natures light, and keeping my art very tonal, I strive every day to create artwork that is easy on the eye, whilst hopefully still having that 'Wow' factor.

I never try to represent my subject in a totally realistic manner, as I believe that a painting is something for the viewer to lose themselves in.
I will have a certain feeling and mood in my mind when I start painting, and the viewer will no doubt have a different take on the feelings it gives them.
That is absolutely the result I want, because if my work allows you to wander out of the stressful reality of real life for just a moment each time you looked at it, then I will have truly achieved what I set out to do.

Born in Norwich, I now live and work as a full time artist just outside the market town of Diss, Norfolk. My original artwork has sold all over the UK and Europe, and has also reached the US and Canada. I always paint wet-on-wet using oils, and love the vibrancy of the colours and the beautiful blends of tones that I can create with this medium. I have always resisted using quick drying acrylics as I believe that oils have a look of quality and depth in colour that truly enhance any painting. I paint in a semi-abstract style and always straight onto a blank canvas. I never sketch beforehand as I feel it restricts my creativity. I am very much self-taught, and I believe that this has in fact helped me remain very loose in the way I express myself on canvas.
