Paul Margocsy is an Australian artist born in 1945 in Melbourne. He is known primarily for his watercolour paintings of Australian birds. Though he has never received any formal art training, he is internationally recognised as one of Australia’s best wildlife artists. He is renowned for the exceptional detail he paints in and is often described as a fine painter, whose technical skill and artistry shine through in every piece he creates. His paintings are so lifelike that people have said that the viewer sees the bird, rather than the painting. Margocsy depicts an incredible amount of charm and personality in his subjects, along with the exquisite detail he is known for. Often, his paintings come with a whimsical “song like” name, that adds to the character of the painting itself. Since he first became engrossed in wildlife art in 1978, Margocsy has staged many exhibitions and won many awards.
