Paul Michael Columbus B.1985

Self-taught interdisciplinary artist Paul Columbus draws deepest inspiration from life itself. Raised with the gift of seeing people as his first medium, a legacy from his father, he began pursuing art professionally in 2015. Painting became a focal point in 2013, and transforming into a powerful therapeutic practice.

In 2014 he met his partner and eternal muse, the extraordinary artist Jennifer Columbus, whose own work continues to ignite his creative fire. Together they have built a life steeped in art and bound by love.

Working primarily in acrylic and aerosol, he explores mark-making, abstraction, and mixed media (markers, collage, photography, oils) using brushes, palette knives, and his own hands. Each piece is a tribute to his father’s mantra: “Live with Love.” Infused with joy and created in flow states fueled by music, his vibrant works are inviting viewers into a transformative dimension beyond the material world. The energy poured into each piece—unapologetically happy, vividly alive—is what viewers feel when they stand before the work.  The art doesn’t just hang on walls; it vibrates with the same love and freedom that created it.
