Paul de Flers is known for his paintings that depict tropical landscapes using pure pigment on linen canvas, creating opaque textures. His main themes revolve around scenes of alienation in remote settings, where characters confront their inner selves. De Flers' notable stylistic approach involves reinventing subjects found in the works of French masters, such as Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin, with imagery saturated in color and intensely humid, inviting viewers into an inward-looking dialogue with his blurry figures.
Paul de Flers’s first verified exhibition was Geografie at Galleria ZAK in Monteriggioni, SI in 2014, and the most recent exhibition was Art Brussels 2025 at Art Brussels in Brussels in 2025.
