CV of Paul Smit.
I was born on the 19th October 1966.
I am married to Liesl and we have a son Aidan.
I did fine art in Malvern West Primary School, with a Mr Sole and Technical drawing in Malvern High School and Kempton Park Technical College.
I dabbled in the engineering field, then into sales and then into business.
1990 – I started art studies and pursuing art as a career.
I studied with Carmen Truter in JHB.
Relocated to Port Elizabeth and studied with Bretten Anne Moolman, Leone Tonkinson and Professor Greg Kerr.
My mediums are oils and acrylics, used in the Alla prima (wet into wet) style.
Various charcoal textures for my drawings.
Presently my works are of abstracting people, landscape and objects.
I look for the underlying building blocks in a photograph. I combine this with the spaces between the forms to create abstraction.
I sign my name as Pauli on completed works.
Enjoy,
Pauli.
