Welcome to Paul Artistry
At Paul Artistry, we believe that visual art is more than pigment on canvas—it’s emotion made visible, stories without words, and the quiet courage of creation. This platform was born from a deep reverence for the power of visual expression and a desire to share that wonder with others.

We go beyond surface-level reviews to uncover the inspiration, technique, and history behind each piece, helping you see art not just with your eyes, but with your heart.

- Traditional painting techniques and mediums

About the Creator
Paul Artistry was founded by Oliver Barnet, an art enthusiast, writer, and lifelong observer of visual culture. Though not a practicing artist himself, Oliver has spent years studying art in galleries, museums, and studios across the UK and Australia. His passion lies in making the often-intimidating world of fine art accessible, meaningful, and deeply personal for everyone who visits this site.
Why This Website Exists
The idea for Paul Artistry came after a quiet afternoon at the National Gallery in London, where Oliver stood before a small, overlooked painting—its brushstrokes trembling with quiet emotion. He realized how many people feel alienated by art, believing they need formal training to appreciate it. That moment sparked a mission: to create a space where curiosity, not credentials, is the only requirement to enter the world of visual art.
Our Values and Approach
We believe art belongs to everyone. Our content is researched with care, written with honesty, and presented without pretension. We prioritize depth over speed, context over clickbait, and authenticity over popularity. Every article is crafted to invite reflection, not just consumption. We don’t sell anything. We don’t run ads. This is a labor of love, built to honor the artists and the audience alike.
Contact Us
If you have a question, a suggestion, or simply want to share how a piece of art moved you, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to Oliver at [email protected]. You can also find him at Queensland University of Technology, 2 George St, Brisbane City QLD 4000, Australia—though please note, this is his professional affiliation, not a public gallery or office.
