PAIN TO PURPOSE. DREAMS REIMAGIND™️
FLAMINGO ROYALTY, Isabelle McDonough
Paul has been a dear friend since the college days, and over the past decade, I have yet to meet anyone with his unique blend of cheerfulness, optimism, and genuine care for others. His art is a true reflection of his vibrant personality and creativity. When I invited Paul to my wedding last January, I was thrilled to receive a beautiful piece of art from him. "Flamingo Royalty" now holds a special place in our home, currently displayed in the guest room. I’m considering moving it to my office after I refresh the space, as it's a piece that brings joy and inspiration to my daily life. I’m so grateful to have Paul's work in my home. Thank you, Paul!

Dear Paul, thank you for sharing your art and your story; this will encourage others to move on and focus on the positive. May God bless Matt’s soul.
I am glad my love Anny brought us together. It is a blessing knowing you and your wonderful dad Robert. Looking forward to seeing you soon again to discuss our art project.
Keep painting and healing brother! Love you. Yours -N.
LOCALE, Liam
My partner and I really appreciate quality work by local artists who live and breathe the subjects they recreate in art. On a recent trip to NYC we struggled to find artwork that spoke to us, but Paul came highly recommended by our local host. Halfway through our week long trip, Paul invited us into his studio and in no time he quickly grasped an understanding of our style and requirements. During the consultation, we were shown a wide range of pieces Paul was working on and it was clear that the scope of his abilities was diverse; using a variety of mediums which work best for his clients tastes. As Paul worked on the piece, he sent regular updates of the work and often invited feedback. The overall process felt very involved and personal. We were thrilled with the result, the piece is a great reflection of our first time in NYC and we love the reaction from friends and family when they see it. Paul also gave expert advice in the positioning and lighting of the piece in our home. Within just three days, our bespoke painting bloomed from a simple photo idea in good time for our flight home!

FANTASEYEZ, Lauren Cosenza
Three years ago today on our rooftop, my husband asked me to marry him. 114 days later we secretly married on that same rooftop. The following evening, our engagement party turned into our surprise wedding celebration. Before heading to the venue, a photo of a kiss in front of our building was snapped by our photographer. That photograph inspired our incredibly talented artist friend to create a painting rich in the layers and depth and texture and beauty he saw in our relationship. After two years of working on it and then showing it at his first solo gallery exhibition in NYC this Spring, and 981 days after the photo itself was taken, he presented it to us today on the anniversary of our engagement. The art, like all of his work, and art collections, came with a custom poem. We are so moved by the piece! It is so incredibly meaningful to us. But most special of all, was seeing the joy of our 6 month old son as he took it in with fresh eyes as well. Paul Christopher, a million thank you's and so much love. It is PHENOMENAL.

I have known Paul since before he was born. From an early age, everyone in the family knew he had an artistic and creative side to him. We got to watch him cultivate it and see how it has led him to where he is today. When Paul begins a painting, he knows what he wants to say through the piece, and puts all his heart and soul into each stroke.I have the honor of owning one of Paul’s paintings. I told him what I had in mind, and then gave him a blank canvas to paint it the way he saw and felt it. I was absolutely thrilled with the finished product. We have it hanging in our living room so we can pass by it every day and admire it. I have been to a few of Paul’s showings and have seen many of his works. They are all breathtaking. You can see his love of art through the colors and designs he puts down on the canvas or tiles.I am so very proud of Paul. I’ve seen his struggles, both physical and emotional, and how he fights through them each day. His work is exceptional and I hope to acquire another of his work soon. I wish Paul the success he so truly deserves. He works hard, and it shows in each of his paintings.-Judy & Fred L.

This is a very inspiring, motivating and captivating story of strength, resilience and faith. I believe if Paul Christopher can overcome all of these obstacles due to his faith in God, so can I. Thank you Mr. Conticelli for sharing your riveting story.

LIFELINE, Gavin
WE LOVE IT! This painting brings together my entire lifestory, the past, the present, and the future. I am overwhelmed every time I look at the beauty captured from different stages in my life. It brings me comfort and excitement to reflect on such a fruitful jourey, regardless of the emotions I thought I may feel in some deeply emotional conversations.
