Paul Brouns was born in 1967 in Ittervoort, a small village in the south of the Netherlands. He studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tilburg and graduated in 1990 with painting drawing and photography as subjects. In the 1990s he was also one of the first artists to employ graphic computer electronics as a tool to create art. In these years he also became involved in graphic design. In 2008 he started working as a freelancer in order to free up more time for his artistic ambitions. Inspired by the possibilities of digital photography this has become his current medium of choice. Because of his ongoing love of geometrical patterns, repetition and luscious colours, he has developed a personal approach to architectural photography. On one side it is embedded in abstract modernist art, but at the same time the work is an observation of contemporary urban life. His work is exclusively available in limited editions and in demand by art collectors worldwide.
