My name is Paul Yakimovich and I’m an artist living and working in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Painting makes sense to me like no other endeavor. It's a place to belong to. A natural state.

Abstract art represents the most authentic expression of the sensory connections I make in life. From music & nature to mundane everyday life experiences, I pull energy from them and direct it to canvas to find something new. The power I draw fills me with the joy of possibilities. The potential of what can be. I enjoy creating images that don't exist anywhere but on my canvas.

I paint abstractly to break free from the limits of expected reality. Abstract painting does not limit my imagery to what is known. I am free to tap into the energy I pull from all my senses and synthesize it into something new.

Our world is growing more complex and seemingly more aimless each day. From the latest gadgets, which we are connected to somehow, to the daily churn of human drama, we all have to hang on to see where this road will take us. As I have done most of my life, I created an off-ramp to a world unmoored from the daily grind. My art represents what I'm finding along the way.
