After five years of study, Paolo graduated from art college in 1984 and began work as an Illustrator and Graphic Designer for various agencies.
As a designer Paolo was a member of the Chartered Society of Designers and was awarded a commendation from the Institute of Packaging for one of his designs.
Paolo has worked on many design projects for advertising agencies. Among the clients were, Amoco, Christian Aid, Royal Sun Alliance and Cambridge University Press.
To fulfil his passion for painting Paolo became a freelance Illustrator and Fine Artist. He produced illustrations for educational books and supplied galleries with his oil paintings. His weekly work schedule would vary from working on a commercial illustration, painting a commissioned portrait or painting landscapes for an art dealer.
In 1997 he opened a gallery in South Croydon and now teaches art to students in art classes.
