Description
Paul Tapia was born in San Francisco on August 14, 1940. He is of Spanish, German and Greek descent. Tapia’s most enjoyable pastimes include traveling the world with his art, doing professional archeology, the San Francisco 49ers and being alone with his wife Julie. Tapia is among the greatest living abstract artists in the world today. Some collectors describe his work as forceful or powerful, while others allude to the ethereal, almost self-illuminating quality of the work. For 25 years Tapia has used the slogan Paul Tapia paints abstracts…for people who don’t like abstracts. This evolved as a result of many staunch traditionalists making statements such as “I usually don’t like abstracts-but these I like.”
