Paul Sarkis has spent his career paying close attention — to Congress, to the Supreme Court, to actors mid-performance on set. That discipline of looking, of waiting for the decisive moment, carries directly into his paintings. Hard edges, bold color fields, the vibrant geometry of desert light. Work that knows exactly what it wants to say and says it cleanly. Paul Sarkis is a painter and photographer based in Palm Springs, California. His original fine art paintings on canvas and linen are inspired by the vibrant colors and shifting light of the desert. With a focus on contemporary design and a midcentury modern palette, Paul’s work draws from the California Hard Edge movement of the 1960s, blending geometric abstraction with the bold forms and rich hues of color field painting. As a photographer, Paul specializes in celebrity portraiture and on-set unit stills photography. His work has been used to promote major feature films and television series, including Showtime’s Shameless, Yellowjackets, and The Affair, as well as productions from Apple TV+, HBO, NBC, ABC, CBS, and FX. Before transitioning into visual arts, Paul spent years as a journalist and editor, covering Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court. He holds a B.A. from Pennsylvania State University and a J.D. from Vermont Law School.Represented by Illumine Gallery. Please inquire for commissions and shipping options.
