My work revolves around, transcends and invokes a sense of wonder within an ocean-nurtured lifestyle. Through the exploration of surf art water landscapes, peoples faces and rural images I free the boundaries of their realistic attributes. Opening the dream-like qualities of moments revisited, thoughts recognized and landscapes explored. What you see below is just a glimpse into the portfolio of a dreamer.

There are many ways that Nathan Paul portrays a subject, he uses muted themes, political sarcasm, and disguised messages, developed through the application of painting, chemical, and textual techniques.
Through the use of acrylic on panel he loosely applies the paint trying only to control the content leaving the nature created waves of wood grain often exposed. The found object sculptures he creates openly reinvents the energy of ocean waves and the way they move, form and break. Nathan Paul takes an optimistic point of view trying to imagine surf everywhere and paying respect to the idea that wood gave us surfing.
