Retiring from this venture at the age of 32, Paul moved back to his roots in the Eastern Cape and established himself as a professional artist in the tranquil city of Port Elizabeth.
To date, he has held 87 successful exhibitions throughout the country, sold in excess of 13 000 paintings and has been tutoring in his Port Elizabeth studio. His art sells locally as well as internationally.
Paul's passion is to produce art that is pleasing to the eye and uplifting to the soul and he has expressed the wish that his clients will derive many years of pleasure from his work, at least in small part as much as he enjoys producing it.

BIOGRAPHIES:
NEO-IMPRESSIONISM:
Paul van Rensburg is a prominent South African artist who specializes in impressionist oil paintings, but has the gift to reproduce virtually any style in any medium. He is generally regarded as the South African artist with the highest production rate and paints alla prima using brushes, knives and his fingers as tools.
Paul was born in 1963 in the small town of Queenstown in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. After completing his schooling at Queens College, he settled in Cape Town where he studied art under the supervision of Master watercolour artist, the late Mr. Rob Robeck.
He later moved to Johannesburg where he became renowned as a decorative airbrush artist in the automotive industry. In 1986, however, he literally graduated to bigger things when he seized an opportunity to establish an aircraft revamp centre.
From very humble beginnings, he succeeded in growing the company to the third largest corporate jet revamp centre in the world.
