Gregory Pavlot

Original oil and acrylic paintings: landscapes, seascapes, still life and figures, built around light.

“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.”
Leonardo da Vinci

About the painter

For me, the success of a painting hinges on capturing light in a way that conveys both the texture and the emotion of a specific place or moment. No matter the subject, the treatment of light on the canvas is paramount.
