Product description
This painting by Paul Megens, “The Singer” (140 x 80 cm), presents an expressive and almost raw portrait of a figure who appears to be in the midst of an intense exclamation or moment of singing.
The central figure has a green-blue face with rough, sketchy contour lines in black. The eyes are large, round, and wide open, evoking a sense of surprise, tension, or even mild madness. They immediately draw attention and give the work an almost hypnotic appearance. The mouth is gaped wide open, displaying irregular, strongly emphasized teeth — as if the figure is screaming loudly or singing at the top of their lungs.
The background is warm and lively, composed of textured red and orange tones and subtle patterns. This contrasts strongly with the cooler face and enhances the emotional intensity of the work. Blue patches on the cheeks suggest blush or emotional color accents, giving the whole a playful yet also alienating character. The style is clearly expressive and leans towards the primitive or childlike, with visible lines, spontaneous paint textures, and a mix of techniques. The whole feels energetic, direct, and unpolished — as if the moment itself is more important than perfection.
In short: “The Singer” is a powerful, colorful, and emotionally charged portrait that depicts the raw energy of sound, expression, and perhaps even inner tension.
- Made on sturdy canvas, making it durable and of high quality.
- The combination of green, blue, and red creates a dynamic play of colors that draws attention.
- Perfect for lovers of abstract art looking for something special for their collection.

🎨 Style and characteristics
Free and imaginative
His work is full of bizarre, humorous, and sometimes absurd images: dinosaurs drinking tea, animals with human traits, or surreal scenes. Direct and intuitive
The art often appears spontaneously created, without heavy conceptual layers—more focused on feeling and first impression (“being captivated at first sight”).
Colorful and expressive
He uses strong color combinations and simple forms that stand out immediately.
🧠 Themes
Humor and absurdity—titles and images are often playful or ironic (e.g., “Pigman riding the banana”). Everyday life + fantasy – ordinary situations are mixed with surreal elements
Humans and animals – many figures are hybrid or caricatured

🧩 Characteristic attitude as an artist
“Anything goes and anything is possible” seems to be his motto

A combination of old-school painting and modern digital techniques
✅ Briefly summarized:
Paul Megens' art is playful, colorful, and imaginative, with a naive style and a healthy dose of humor. He balances between painting and digital art, creating work primarily intended to evoke an immediate response—without complicated theory.
