Paul Squire
Visual Artist specialising in Digital Media


Paul Squire is a London based artist specialising in Digital Media. The artist states: “my influences in art come from such masters as Giger, Dali and Friedrich, and the great artists of the Italian Renaissance. I hope to create an alternate reality with my imagery and love the work of artists who seem to have achieved this alchemical process.”

Paul uses Photoshop, a wacom tablet and a mac as his main tools of creation to twist, distort and stretch new worlds into being, re-imagining classical myths and esoteric themes, which some have labelled 'The New Grotesque'.
