Paul Marx

Paul Marx works in watercolour to explore atmosphere, memory, and the quiet imprint of human presence within landscape and urbanscape. His subjects move between natural environments, architectural spaces, and coastal settings shaped by light, weather, and time. Rather than describing place literally, he focuses on mood — stillness, passage, and reflection — where pathways, structures, trees, and water become subtle metaphors for transition and lived history.
Using the translucency of watercolour, he builds light through layered washes on archival paper, balancing control with fluidity. His paintings invite viewers to slow down and experience familiar environments as spaces of contemplation rather than simply locations.
