Artist Biography – Paul Oswin
Paul Oswin is a visual artist based in the regional town of Kerang, Victoria, where he lives with his partner and children. Surrounded by natural lakes and rich birdlife, Paul draws inspiration from the local environment, especially the wildlife that inhabits these unique wetland areas.
A lifelong creative, Paul’s passion for art began in his school years and led him to complete a Bachelor of Fine Art with a major in printmaking at La Trobe University, Mildura, in the late 1990s. He later gained teaching qualifications and has spent many years sharing his love of art as a secondary school educator.
Paul specialises in both relief and intaglio printmaking, as well as expressive works in watercolour and ink on heavy watercolour papers. His style balances between realism and abstraction, often beginning with photographic references and evolving into instinctive, intuitive mark-making.
“I like my art to be vibrant in colour and rich in textural elements, so the work has visual movement and energy. I want to make art that I enjoy creating while also having broad appeal to an audience.”
In recent years, Paul has led numerous workshops with community groups, schools, and art collectives, focusing on expressive painting techniques using watercolour and ink. He values the opportunity to share creative processes and enjoys witnessing others tap into their own artistic instincts
