Paul Brandejs is an abstract artist who works with acrylic and photography on sculpted canvas. Born in Czech Republic he has studied in Banff School of fine Arts and has a four year diploma in Fine Arts and a four year diploma in Graphic Design from Ontario College of Art. His final year of study was spend in Florence, Italy, studying under Canadian Figurative Artist Tom La Pierre.
His inspiration can come from anywhere, be it the moon in the night sky or the fluid motion of water. The fall of shadows on the captivating shapes in the narrow streets of Florence or a forested glade in a park in Toronto all contain natural elements that comprise a component of the abstract.
This year he has finally returned, after 49 years, to his native Czech Republic and traveled extensively visiting the sites that were part of his childhood. This exhibit is a snap shot of the powerful impressions that long overdue visit had on him.
