Paul Koskinen (b. May 1964) is a Canadian contemporary abstract artist living and exhibiting primarily in and around Toronto, Ontario. As with most children he exhibited the usual curiosity for all things interesting. Lacking any parental guidance or direction during his early years Koskinen Sought out a variety of interests primarily centred around art and music. With little regard for academia and even less for those around it much time was occupied with the creative process gathering inspiration from what few books on art history available. During those early years Picasso and Dali represented everything new and exciting to the young mind while Rembrandt, Velasquez and Caravaggio were idols amongst the old masters.
