PAUL
Whispers in the Maze
Originally painted on paper with acrylic, this abstract piece evokes a sense of intricate complexity, with its interwoven tapestry of soft, muted reds, greens, and yellows. The delicate lines and layered colours create an impression of movement and depth as if the viewer is peering into a hidden, organic maze where patterns gently emerge and dissolve, inviting quiet reflection. Made in NZ with love.

Born in Christchurch, New Zealand Paul graduated from Canterbury University with a BSC with Honours in Psychology. After winning a Fulbright Scholarship he continued his film career largely as an independent filmmaker based in London marketing international films. Back in New Zealand in the mid-2000s, Paul continued working in New Zealand film and with other creative industry bodies.
In late 2021, during a COVID lockdown, Paul faced a severe stroke, leaving him with right-side hemiparesis and aphasia. Remarkably, just a week after the stroke, he embarked on a rehabilitation journey. Despite a challenging three-month hospital stay, Paul channelled this life-altering experience into an artistic expression. His work has garnered attention for its visual appeal and the depth of emotion and meaning infused into each piece.
Amid rehabilitation, art has become his therapeutic outlet, driven by an unyielding passion for self-expression and a commitment to reclaiming his life. Paul symbolises unwavering determination, transforming physical limitations into an opportunity for creativity.
