Paul Hinks is a self-taught fine artist working primarily in pastel.  He was born and raised in the south-east of England where he lives to this day with his wife and children.  Growing up he spent a significant amount of time outdoors, exploring the ancient woodlands and open spaces surrounding his childhood home, and his work is informed by the colours, shapes and textures of the natural world.

Inspired by the methods of the classical tradition, his paintings are built upon accurate drawing and strong representations of light and shadow, but he strives to work beyond a merely photographic representation; to capture something of the heart and soul of the subject on the paper.

You can view a gallery of his work here or find information about a commission here.
