I have a special relationship with animals. They give me courage and strength — whether in real animal form or painted.

Tina Paulus

Tina Paulus paints large-format animal portraits without sugary sweet embellishment. Her images are attractive and strictly reduced to the essentials. They have power, great intensity, a certain rawness, and a complete absence of space, depth, and horizon. Tina Paulus doesn’t paint portraits, but rather classical archetypes with a very individual subtext.
