Welcome to
Paul Cairns Art
The artwork of Paul Cairns can be described as "Realistic animal painting with emotional story telling"; Paul has a talent for realistic rendering, not just technically adept, but linked to the animal’s temperament, the moment they are living in. Pauls works capture a moment in time, a window into the life of his subjects that reveals a tenderness in how he approaches his work.
If his work was to be categorized, “Contemporary wildlife realism” would probably be a best fit (for now).
In the medium of oil paints, Paul brings his subjects to life with some powerful portraiture, as well as some wonderfully touching authentic connections and bonds between animals.
Pauls Talents do not just encompass the animal kingdom; this same awareness of the moment and the emotion is also captured in human portraits. Through many pencil studies, Paul has learned to understand that a portrait is not just about where your facial features are, but rather a statement about the person; something for future generations to gain a feeling of and an understanding of the person in the painting.
