Early Paintings

Paulin’s earliest works trace the foundation of an artist learning to see, capturing the faces and figures that shaped his world through patient study and instinctive feeling. From quiet portraits of family and friends to expressive nudes and self-explorations, these paintings reveal a young hand already attuned to character, mood, and the weight of presence. Rendered in rich oils with confident brushwork, they stand as the first chapter of a lifelong dialogue between observation and emotion.
