Paul Hartel

“I think of my work as celebrating the spirit of the ‘inner child’ through an improvisationally eviscerated energy. I feel this expressive energy retained in the strokes, lines, forms, and colors encompassing their fleeting application, yet everlasting presence. I subscribe to a raw sense of urgency I feel parallels the excitement of life and all its accompanying intellectual, emotional and existential vicissitudes.” – Paul Hartel
