BritishBritish
, b. 1970

Paul's artistic creations serve as an exceptional choice for enthusiasts of both traditional and contemporary landscape art. Drawing inspiration from revered classical landscape painters such as J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, Titian, Camille Pissarro, and Claude Monet, Paul skillfully captures a vision of nature that resonates with the thoughts and emotions of the present era. His optimistic perspective mirrors a generation eager to embrace the future, infusing happiness and nostalgia into their lives. Employing artistic license, Paul imbues his landscapes with a fairy-tale, dreamlike quality that has profoundly touched the hearts of collectors across various life stages, from newlyweds adorning their first home to families with children. In his formative years, Paul delved into the works of the Hudson River School movement, inspired by European Romanticism's celebration of the emotions and aesthetics found in art, music, and literature. His influences also extend to abstract art, 3D software, and notable figures such as American artist Grant Wood and Disney illustrator Eyvind Earle. Each of Paul's poignant scenes is adorned with magical details, featuring delicate flowers, meandering paths, and the rhythmic waves of the sea. The airbrushed appearance, meticulously crafted with a fine paintbrush, embodies the concept of idealism. Paul elucidates, "In my paintings, existence has been pared down to the essentials: no telephone wires, no street lights, no roads for cars. It's not a real world, but a world people wish existed. Everything appears as if it belongs; each element finds its rightful place." In October 2021, Paul unveiled his inaugural book, "Becoming Paul Corfield," chronicling his evolution from an emerging artist in Dorset to a prolific painter with works showcased in galleries nationwide. Commemorating 15 years with his publisher, the accompanying collection features exclusive limited edition prints and original artworks that reimagine some of his most sought-after pieces from throughout his career. Reflecting on the impact of his art, Paul shares, "People often express their love for my work or convey that they can envision themselves within it, which is incredibly touching. Frequently, they acquire it to commemorate a celebration or to remember someone dear to them; this holds a profound significance for me."
