Projects
14 years already since we lost one of the greatest actors. And one of my favourite ever characters to paint.
My aim with this painting was to make the eyes tormented and as human as possible, contrasting the rest.
Rest in peace Heath, but never forgotten.
A massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY @jensonbutton !
Don’t wish to worry you mate but you’re catching me up…
Gooooood morning UK!
Looks a cracker out there. A bit of mountain biking I reckon before the remainder of the day in the studio. Have a good one team!! 🙌💥
Three years ago today at @autosport_international show… we made some noise!
I really can’t fathom how this was only three years ago, so much has happened since, even with the world being half shut for much of that.
And you just wait to see who’s next 🤪🤔💥
Ahhhh shit. Really sad to hear that @nikkidouthwaite has passed away following a long horrific battle with cancer. You may know her as the hole punch portrait artist, massive artworks created solely from punched paper holes that took her months to create. Here in Singapore in 2014 where we did a show together at the British Embassy.
Rest in peace.
Love to Chris and her boys xx
Here he is, my favourite painting for a long while, Boba Fett “He’s no good to me dead”
Limited editions coming to a gallery near you soon 🙌 please email studio@pauloz.co.uk if you don’t know of one near you and we’ll hook you up 👍
It’s one o those GREAT British winter days hey. I’d best just stay inside typing this book thing then hey! Really enjoying it to be honest, and definitely cathartic. Like being forced to put scrambled thoughts into a specific box. Might have to cut down on the waffle a bit tho 😂🤦♂️
Happy birthday Sir @lewishamilton ! Celebrate like it’s that 1000th race win, or something 🤪🙌
Before I get stuck into work work for the year… excuse me whilst I indulge myself 🤪
Looks like you can eat it right!? Trust me. Don’t. Makes soap seem palatable.

Happy birthday @michaelschumacher 💥🙌
Happy new year Mofo’s!
Hope you had a good one.
I’m still trying to resist getting back to work here… some very muddy mountain bike brain cleansers instead, and hill walking with the Mrs.
I reckon I’m back painting tomorrow… can’t wait! Which is a perfect place to be 🙌
My highlight of 2021 is so obvious it’s not even a decision;
Working with the amazing team at @rightformulaproductions to create the launch video of my 85 Senna bronze, to celebrate Ayrtons first win in F1. The time spent sitting in Ayrton’s car, staring at the same dials that he did, cocooned in the tight cockpit and helmet cutting out almost everything else - a very very special moment that I will remember forever.
I had much bigger plans for unveiling the statue in Portugal, which of course due to the obvious, could not happen. That @skysportsf1 used the unveiling footage we created in place of it physically being there, on their live race day show, was beyond my expectations and an absolute honour. Demonstrating perfectly once again my belief of jumping into everything feet first, as you never know what just might happen. Thanks as ever to the Sky production crew for the positivity!
So once again… all I have to figure how to do is best this again in 2022!
Well…. You just wait 🤪🙌
Happy New Year all, stay safe and have a good one!!
Love from @mrs.oz.1 and I 😘
And that’s almost it for 2021!
A very strange year… but we’ll leave it at that huh.
With a big focus in the foundry, and an unprecedented demand for embellished works, I created fewer new oil paintings than usual. But I’m so happy with what I did create! And looking at what’s coming up over coming months in the studio… oh baby.
Have a good one team!! 🙌🍾🍻🤧🍸
I’ve been doing a bit more of this recently… and definitely need to do a lot more now after a week just eating!
As many others found with what we‘ve all been through (so far…) with pandemic lockdowns, perhaps my life balance was slightly off. Too much work and travel, and not enough to balance that out. Without the usual one week in three travelling it’s been awesome to get race fit again!
My plans have been hit once again… I was meant to be flying to the US today for a month long work trip. With the bike as baggage I might add this time. But covid surges both sides of the Atlantic just not making that a sensible thing to be doing right now. Gutted.
Looking for positives it means that there is a lot of work I can get done that I thought would be stacked up until spring… and I can get the winter gear out of the cupboard and mess around in the mud! Erm….
In recent days I’ve renewed efforts to get writing the book I’ve been thinking of for several years too, covering my last 10 years of painting, sculpture and F1. Something I was hoping to be writing on the beach but hey ho. I think I’ve finally got the tone of it right and the flow is now coming easy…. watch this space! It would be easy to throw together a collection of artwork in a book… but I’m trying to give the substance and stories behind it. And there’s a hell of a lot of it over 10 years!
Hope you guys all had a great Christmas! 🎄
Everything I need in the world, right there in one photo 😍🤤
Finally winding down for Christmas… just a couple more canvases to embellish tonight and ship first thing, then that’s it for a week or so.
Have a good one mofos’ 💥🎄
Raising a glass for the old man on what would be his birthday.
We were quite different people but for sure where my love for cars and motorsport came from. And wine.
I can still remember rolling down the hill in the garden inside his 911 tyre! God know how young/small I must have been to do that!
Miss you dad. RIP 🥂
We finally found time to watch Daniel Craigs Bond swan song…. And WOW! Incredible. Stunning cinematography. And a virus related story line that makes it much clearer why they kept pushing release back mid pandemic! I might have to rename this portrait ‘Double O what?’ though! 🤪🙌
Setting up for a female Bond in the future?
Possibly my favourite Bond film even… certainly my favourite post Roger Moore.
Arise, Sir Lewis Hamilton 🙌
Congratulations @lewishamilton !
Interesting scenes through this evenings embellishing session in the studio…. Did I miss something? 🤪
These were ordered by @f1authentics I might add a few weeks ago, with balancing qty of Lewis …. Will be with you tomorrow guys 🙌
