Influenced by Titian, Picasso, Caravaggio and Velázquez, among others, Paul Lisak creates large-format works in oil on canvas, in which the technique of chiaroscuro is the dominant one. In his work he speaks of the problems and dilemmas that plague modern man, of war, of the dichotomy between science and theology, and of conflicts in general. To do so, he uses current figures and characters, creating compositions that often integrate universal symbols of religion, mythology, and science.

Until 1999, there were very few exhibitions of this artist, as he lived quite isolated from the outside world, and also due to a lack of time caused by a life dedicated day and night to the production of new works, both pictorial and musical.

He is undoubtedly a controversial artist, as his painting has been applauded on numerous occasions by the public and critics, who recognize in Paul Lisak a unique gift as a painter and draughtsman, as well as the virtue of recovering with enormous talent the valuable legacy of the great painters of the Renaissance. Alongside these displays of enthusiasm, there coexist critics who reproach him for not using this talent to create his own, novel style, something that Lisak has never understood or shared.
