Poul A. Costinsky was born in former USSR. He mostly paints oil on canvas, but sometimes uses other media like Japanese ink on paper, acrylics, spray paints, and even photo camera. His art reflects on human condition in our hectic age, the nature of beauty of body, soul and nature around us. His art credo comes as a quote from a Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, who, once asked how to become a real artist, answered: "if you can help it, don't". Perhaps Poul just cannot help it.
