Paul Butvila

Paul was born in London, England and immigrated to Canada with his parents at an early age. He began painting at around 20 years old, studying briefly with fantasy artist Boris Vallejo in New York. Paul was always drawn to realism and focused solely on this interest from the age of 25.

Along with his fascination for all things with reflective surfaces, Paul also loved to paint faces and the female form.  His series “Gotta Wear Shades” is a compilation of these elements. 

Paul’s work is represented by Skye Art Gallery in Las Vegas, Nevada and Plus One Gallery in London, England.

Paul continues to work from his home studio in West Kelowna, British Columbia.
