Paul
Margocsy developed a love of painting at an early age. He became engrossed in wildlife art and this passion lead to his research in ornithology. With no formal art training, and through experimentation, he has become a renowned and highly acclaimed artist.
With a photographic memory, and prodigious drawing skills, Paul is able to capture more than a visual truth. With his observation and knowledge of different bird species behaviours, he captures the character and charm of his subjects. Through precise detail, the fine rendering of feather and eye and claw, in watercolour and opaque gouache, the viewer sees a bird rather than a painting.

Nick embraces an impressionistic style in his paintings using a palate with lots of strong colour to produce the depth and texture evident in his floral pieces.
He is strongly influenced by nature and his surroundings, finding fresh stimulus for the deep imagination that lies behind his original works when he travels to the southwest coastal and wilderness outback areas of Western Australia.
Nick has won numerous awards for his works and is represented in many public and private collections in Australia and overseas.
