About Paul Burns

 
 
  • Biography
    A lttle bit about me. I am a native Londoner but now live in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex. I started Studying art at St Martins School of Art in London and then went on to study Graphic Design at East Ham College of Technology in London. I Won a Gold award from British Boys Clubs for a wall mural when I was 21 years old. I worked at Ad agencies in the eighties and early-nineties as Designer and Art Director and Won the design award for Best freestanding exhibition stand at the Personal computer show held at Olympia in London. I have worked with many music industry celebrities designing music videos for: Justin Bieber, One Direction, Olly Murs and Demi Lovato. I have also designed sets for many feature films and TV show. One of which was nominated for a BAFTA for best single drama (Cyberbully) But oil painting is my love and have recently re-acquainted myself with it. I like to use oils because I love the beautiful saturated colours. but I also work with acrylics as they can give a good luminosity as well. I love capturing moments in time and searching for images that have meaning, Art for me is an expression of thoughts and emotions that connect with other human beings.
