Paul Wilson started painting at a young age, encouraged by his father Alexander Wilson, himself a well-known and highly respected artist. Paul became enthused and before long wanted to emulate his father’s ability. During his teenage years and up to his father’s death in 1969, Paul received a formal education in fine art and was soon to produce his own unique work.​

His still life studies are drawn directly from his chosen subject matter and frequently depict bowls brimming with succulent summer fruits or baskets ablaze with summer flowers, painting in rich, bright colours, displaying all their incandescent glory.​

His traditional still life style of painting has enjoyed a loyal and enthusiastic following due to his individual and unique approach to the form. Paul has had a number of successful exhibitions, and his paintings are to be found in selected galleries across the UK.
