About The Artist
Paul Gerskowitch creates Refractist works that blend photographic reality with artistic transformation. His art explores memory, mood, and light — reinterpreting familiar landscapes with emotional depth and clarity.
Dr Paul Gerskowitch, at 81, is a recent self‑taught artist whose work explores the border between memory, emotion, and photographic reality.
He works primarily through Refractism*, an artistic method that transforms everyday scenes into atmospheric emotional spaces while preserving the underlying truth of the original image. His practise emerged late in life after a fulfilling career embracing medical research and pharmaceutical R&D leadership.
With no formal artistic training, he approaches image‑making with a scientist’s eye and a poet’s instinct, building a body of work that centres on light, recollection, and reinterpretation.
*The artist’s style is termed Refractism. The method he developed is termed Refractist.
