“ B R A V E M A N “

If I was to describe Paul Phidias in one word only, I would say – a c r e a t o r – in the truest, deepest sense of the word. Completely devoted to harmony, this universal principle of everything we regard as noble. In face of today’s standards – u n i q u e – going against the tide.

O n e c a n h a v e n o s m a l l e r o r g r e a t e r m a s t e r y t h a n m a s t e r y o f o n e s e l f – like Leonardo and Plato thousands years ago, Paul Phidias states today. Concentrated consistently around thought, striving to express what is the greatest in man. What inspires life and human bonds; our relationship with another human; with culture, with nature, with ourselves…

The spirit works with the hand, every obstacle yields to stern resolve. In front of us images full of sublime simplicity, clarity of precision, vitality and elegance. Paul Phidias looks for the proportion not only in numbers and measures, but also in shades, weights, rythms and positions, and what ever force there is. Setting, in terms of confusion of contemporary, his own authentic c a n o n.

At a stroke, he breaks with the brutal painting of today; he arrives without errors, without failings, without exaggerations and as if in one bound at this judicious and erudite naturalism, far from servile imitation and empty, fleeting ideal.
