Paul Ygartua started drawing and painting with his mom when he was just six years old. They did this during the summer holidays in the Basque Country, where his dad’s family is from. They spent time with family, went to lively Fiestas, and Paul learned Spanish because his family didn’t speak English.
After that, Paul studied Industrial Design for five years. This included learning about design, life studies, architectural drawings, and making silver designs. With his natural talent and education, he got really good at capturing the essence of a subject with just a few lines. His drawings are simple but make you think and look closely.
In the early years, Paul practiced a lot by copying the work of great artists. This helped him get good at things like composition, color balance, and different styles. He painted for eight hours every day, turning him into a confident and skilled artist.
One of his famous works, “The Thinker,” shows his talent with black ink and strong strokes. With ink, you can’t go back, so the first impression is the only one you get.
Paul’s drawings are simple, full of energy, and show life from a different point of view. He’s a master with pens, pencils, and brushes, and his dedication to art is clear in his effortless-looking creations.
Paul likes to try new things in his art, like drawing intricate details or keeping things simple. His drawings of Extraterrestrials and AI Robots in “Brave New World” show how he keeps challenging himself to try new things and evolve as an artist.
