Paula Mignucci Fine Art

Paula Mignucci is a professional animal portrait artist, based in the beautiful Surrey Hills, UK. Her works range from realistic wildlife art to pet and equestrian portraiture.

Paula is a strong advocate for the protection of the natural world and animal welfare issues including poaching, human-animal conflict and the effects of climate change on the animal kingdom. She has collaborated and donated her artwork to raise funds for wildlife conservation projects around the world and her work was awarded 'Highly Commended' in the 2023 Explorers Against Extinction 'Sketch for Survival' competition.

“I hope that I can play a part in being a catalyst for change by highlighting the destruction of our natural world through my art.”

Paula Mignucci, artist

After receiving a BA (Hons) degree in Fashion and Marketing, Paula pursued a career in the design industry, working initially as a fashion illustrator and designer in the Netherlands and later working as a design manager for large corporates, including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. Although the work was rewarding, she always yearned to follow her true passions - art and animals.

Paula works with professional grade paints, pastels and pencils. Her style is anatomically precise and photo-realistic, with many hours spent studying the form, values, textures and more importantly the anima (soul) of her subjects. She is a member of the Association of Animal Artists and sells her work through galleries or by commission.
