Born in Kingston, Jamaica, and based in Miami FL, Paul Lewin is mainly inspired by his connection to Africa and the Caribbean; nature, science, ancestors, and dreams, and representation of our interconnectedness to the Earth. Entrancing and magic storytelling through his visual representations of sacred energies that help us to connect to our deepest roots.
Each of his paintings is created in a process similar to dreaming, about the flow, movement, and transfer of energy. We give off energy, we receive energy, we are made of energy.
The figures in my work represent my ancestors; ancient ancestors, futuristic ancestors, inter-dimensional ancestors. They symbolize my connection to Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Rituals, folklore, music, and art have all been passed down from generation to generation through the ancient art of storytelling. My work tells the story of me. Each of my paintings is created in a process similar to dreaming.
‘Adaptation’ Acrylic on canvas 18” x 14” 
“Emerge” 10” x 10” Acrylic on canvas.
Meditation and dreams were very important tools in the creative process of my ancestors. I like to think of it as traveling inside to the place where my inspirations, emotions, genetic memory, and unconscious thoughts all collide.(…) Over the years I’ve often been asked what my goals are as an artist and my answer has always been the same. I want to go deeper into that place where the visions come from.
