“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” -Aristole

The paintings of Paule Dubois Dupuis, a San Francisco based artist, reflect her fascination with the fleeting concept of the moment and cycles of life.

Following the thinking of Da Vinci, Dubois Dupuis pulls her inspiration from direct observation of people and events of daily life. More than traditional abstract formal concerns, Dubois Dupuis is interested in producing a poignant experience for the viewer and herself. She creates a visual diary highlighting emotional and physical effects of life’s occurrences, ultimately providing a better understanding of the human condition.
