Paula Novak artist
Medium: mainly acrylic watercolor on
canvas
Subject matter: Fascinating flora, riveting
realism, corporate murals, fantasy art, portraits, illustrations.
Paula Novak paints uncannily accurate images of the human face and form that capture not only the outward image but the soul essence of her subjects. She excels at portraits and loves to indulge herself and her clients by placing them into a personalised fantasy setting. She creates highly detailed images of native pohutukawa or kowhai, woodpigeons or tuis. Corporate or public murals embodying the spirit of a company or community are a specialty along with CD covers and images for café’s, restaurants or home designers looking for something unique.
The movie, The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe based on the Narnia Chronicles was filmed partly on location in New Zealand. Paula approached various people involved in the production but was it was too late for them to take advantage of her extraordinary gift of realism. When the art director saw her portfolio he exclaimed he wished he had known about her before they began conceptual art for the film.
