Contemporary landscape artist, Paul Corfield paints charming landscapes, fuelled by his imagination and the Dorset landscape. From sunset-soaked hills to seaside cliffs and snow-laden trees, Paul’s beautiful landscapes explore the beauty of nature. His timeless idealist style is reflected on his paintings with the airbrushed appearance, incredibly detailed elements, and the injection of light into every part of a painting.

The new instalment of “Home from Home” has taken elements from two of his different styles - one more focused on rolling landscapes and seascapes and one more focused on hyperrealism compromising portraitures and abstract work - giving a progressive contemporary feel to his work, whilst pushing and developing his technique and style. All the pieces of this collection evoke a sense of familiarity and they remind us of places we’ve been with a dream-like quality.

This piece is reminiscent of the idyllic English countryside, a cottage retreat to escape for a weekend with a strong feeling of tranquillity and calm. ‘Over the Hills and Far Away’ was an exciting challenge for the artist. With no colour reference, Paul focused on his imagination, painting purely on instinct when representing the range of different hills, totalling in seven. Painting from the farthest one to the foreground, each hill is darker than the one before, depicting his incredible artistry and a beautiful colour palette.

Paul says: “Although the paintings are idyllic in portrayal, everything still looks like it is meant to be there, and nothing feels superficial”. Paul’s paintings are pieces of heavenly perfection, a special place where everyone is welcome. Presented an idealised view of nature, his limited-edition prints, and original oil paintings add a feeling of peace and tranquillity to any living space.
