What we can say with clarity about Paul Mathieu’s painting style is that it is defined as being of: An evocative abstract painter.

 

Characterised by a harmonious colour pallet, his abstraction evokes feelings and emotions, which the creative process is retrieved mostly from nature.

Skies, lands, sea and wind are atmospheres that inherently occupy the space in the canvas surrounding the spectator in an environment of colour, light and movement.

Using diagonal strength lines, Paul imprints the movement that will give the dynamics to his compositions.

Using a harmonious colour pallet combined with luminosity is always present, it will leave a feeling of happiness and optimism, in a frank language, free and direct.

 

We also recognize elements with oriental influence; black lines enhanced by small brushes of lively colours reveal a developed rigorous aesthetic concern.

 

Even approaching other themes all his work is guided by these directive lines.

 

Looking at Paul Mathieu’s works we must try to fit them as a whole and only then find the chromatic diversity and the mass balance light/shade in a dynamic group of overwhelming plastic richness…
