MISTERIO DE LA NOCHE ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 90X140 CM AGOSTO 2026 PAÍS VASCO VENDIDO
FIESTA DE FORMAS / FORMEN JAIA
For Paul Ygartua, inspiration is not something to be awaited—it is sustained through the daily discipline of creating. Experimentation has always been at the heart of his practice, continually leading him toward new techniques, materials and forms of expression.
Fiesta de Formas / Formen Jaia marks an exciting new direction. Created without brushes or spatulas, the work emerges through an instinctive, free-flowing process. Lines, circles, squares and scattered points of colour intersect across a dark ground, forming a richly textured mosaic of movement and balance.
Viewed as a whole, the composition suggests a metropolis seen from above: streets converge, pathways unfold and architectural forms pulse with energy. Ygartua’s background in industrial design is evident in the work’s complex structure, confident perspective and carefully orchestrated relationships between colour, texture and space.
The eye is invited to travel through the painting, following its intricate pathways as forms collide, separate and dissolve into the surrounding field. Playful yet meticulously composed, the work captures the rhythm and vitality of an imagined urban landscape.
Ygartua is developing this new body of work between his studios in the Basque Country and Cadaqués, with further work taking place during his time in Paris. The series will be presented in connection with the international exhibition Art Shopping at the Carrousel du Louvre, Paris, October 23–25, 2026.
A celebration of lines, circles, squares and colour—colliding, connecting and melting into infinity.

Celestial Shimmer explores the intersection of light, texture, and movement through a contemporary abstract language. Metallic gold and silver tones emerge and recede within layered monochromatic fields, creating a dynamic surface that shifts with perspective and illumination.
The composition evokes a sense of energy suspended in motion—like fragments of light caught between formation and dissolution. Rich textures and gestural marks build a tactile landscape where structure and spontaneity coexist.
This work reflects a modern approach to abstraction, where materiality becomes central to the experience. The interplay of reflective surfaces invites the viewer to engage not only with the painting itself, but with the changing light and space around it.

Thrilled to share one of Paul Ygartua’s newest abstract works now on exhibit at Ukama Gallery in Vancouver.
🌊 BLUE DANUBE Acrylic on Canvas 45 x 68 in $6,500
This piece is a powerful exploration of movement, rhythm, and emotional cadence—Ygartua’s signature improvisational style flowing like a river in motion. Layers of blues, yellows, whites, and deep blacks collide and dissolve, creating a dynamic composition that feels alive and constantly shifting.
Rooted in his decades-long dedication to abstraction, Blue Danube invites viewers to interpret their own sense of depth, balance, and energy within its fluid forms. It’s a striking presence in person and a standout addition to the Ukama Gallery collection.
If you’re in Vancouver, it’s absolutely worth seeing this work up close.

Now on Exhibit at Ukama Gallery
Ukama Gallery is proud to present AUTUMN SOLITUDE, a stunning new birch-forest masterwork by internationally acclaimed Canadian artist Paul Ygartua. This large-scale acrylic painting captures the quiet majesty of autumn in British Columbia, where light, colour, and nature collide in a moment of pure stillness.
Ygartua has long been inspired by the raw beauty of BC’s forests, especially the slender, bright birches that illuminate the fall season. His connection to nature runs deep—he paints with an immediacy and intensity that reflects the time spent immersed in the landscapes that surround him.
In AUTUMN SOLITUDE, Ygartua brings the viewer directly into the forest—the crisp whites of the birch trunks, the fiery reds and golds of autumn foliage, and the layered depth of the woodland floor. It is both peaceful and powerful, a celebration of nature’s ability to ground and uplift us.
This new work is now on display at Ukama Gallery, where collectors and nature-lovers alike can experience the richness and atmosphere of Ygartua’s autumn visions in person.
