Paul Vincenti has been creating images (and some might say mischief) for over 25 years. Based in Orlando, Florida, Paul's style and subjects have a unique overlap between fantasy illustrations and the fine art world. Everyone agrees that Paul is blessed with boundless energy. His professional endeavors have spanned many media, including forays into musical composition and production.

Paul's first professional art show was in 1979. He did the outdoor art show circuit around Florida for a few years, displaying a mix of fantasy and landscapes, but found he could actually afford to eat if he took photographs, something he had been doing for years as a reference for his paintings. The opportunity to go to Hawaii presented itself in 1984 and in short order, Paul became a contributing editor and photographer for Hawaii magazine photographing the swimsuit issues for three years. Tough work, but somebody had to do it! Paul returned to oil painting full-time in 2001. Back on the outdoor circuit and in galleries with landscapes and botanicals taking the limelight.

In October 2003, he decided the time was right to give the Sci-Fi /Fantasy Convention Art Shows a go.

"I felt a renewed interest in fantasy art decided to start painting and exhibiting new works at various Sci-Fi / Fantasy Conventions and on the web. I found an overlap exists between the fine art and fantasy art worlds and have tried my best to create works that fit in both worlds. I am a proud to be a member of ASFA, and will continue to pursue excellence in fantasy art. Not only can you visit my works here, but see some of them on Epilogue and the ASFA website, most impressive websites for works of this type by myself and hundreds of others."

So, with that, a 3rd website came into being: VincentiFantasyArt.com. He has been well received at the conventions, winning many awards including the coveted "Artist Choice" at Dragoncon in Atlanta, 3 times (2007, 2008, and 2010) and 1st place (2009),and many other awards at various shows. Paul's works are on display at major art shows, tradeshows, conventions and various galleries. Just look for the guy with the long blonde hair and little black hat.
