PAUL HARTEL | And The Inner Child
“Hailing from New York and currently residing in the picturesque West of Ireland, I immerse myself in the world of abstract, neo-expressionist, and art brut styles, using a diverse array of mediums such as oil, acrylic, oil stick, pastels, charcoal, and pencil. I firmly believe in creating art for art’s sake, valuing the authenticity of spontaneous artistic expression.
My creative work celebrates the pure, uninhibited essence of the ‘inner child’ while also serving as thought-provoking commentary on various societal issues. It is delivered through an energetically raw and improvisational approach.
My art bears witness to an unfiltered truth untouched by doubt or reservation. I am driven by an unrefined sense of urgency, mirroring the vitality of life and all its complex intellectual, emotional, and existential fluctuations. Only through the viewer’s perception and genuine appreciation can my artwork transcend and achieve its ultimate fulfillment.” – Paul Hartel
