Paul Dragomir

Paul Dragomir was born in Romania in 1976. At the age of four he started expressing himself artistically by drawing his toys and animals in books. He has no formal training training; but educated himself. He makes his own paints and uses at times very rare pigments; some which are made from stones like Lapis Lazuli, Rhodonite, Malachite, Turquoise and many more too numerous to mention. To ensure the highest degree of permanence he tests all of his pigments and uses mostly industrial materials and equipment due to the inferior quality of most of the "artist grade" materials. Paul works with acrylics, watercolors, and scratch board. The scratch boards are the highest selling items. All the art is varnished with non-yellowing clear coats; made with synthetic resins like polycarbonate, polyurethane, or ethyl carbonate. In 2007 Paul closed his art gallery in downtown Long Beach and now resides in Cambria.
