About Saul Original Art

Ethan Saul (b. 2002) is the creative mind behind Saul Original Art, a multidisciplinary practice where surrealism, architecture, animation and old-world aesthetics converge. A self-taught artist, Ethan works at the intersection of traditional and digital art, creating limited-edition fine-art prints paired with cinematic monochrome animations. His work reflects a deep love for European architecture, vintage atmospheres, and the elegant simplicity of pre-digital life.

Saul’s visual world is shaped most profoundly by Giorgio de Chirico, whose dreamlike plazas and long shadows inform Ethan’s sense of stillness, structure and psychological depth. He draws additional influence from Carlo Carrà’s abstract spatial tension and John Brack’s ability to express human emotion through sharp realism and disciplined composition. These artists, along with Ethan’s fascination for 1920s–1960s film noir, vintage fashion, and old European street life, form the backbone of the Saul aesthetic: warm, sculptural scenes with a timeless, cinematic quietness.

At the heart of Ethan’s practice is Saul, his recurring animated character, a vintage-styled figure who moves through monochrome worlds that echo the emotional landscape of the paintings. The animations are not direct interpretations but expansions: silent films that extend the mood, themes and architecture of each artwork, deepening the collector’s experience across stillness and motion.

Ethan’s vision for Saul Original Art moves beyond the traditional boundaries of fine art. He sees art, design, fashion, architecture and lifestyle as inseparable, different expressions of the same pursuit of beauty and atmosphere. His goal is to build a world where artwork is not only collected, but lived with: a brand rooted in elegance, structure and storytelling. He aims to collaborate with aligned creators and brands, not for commercial trend-chasing, but to explore the natural connection between crafted objects, refined aesthetics, and the environments we inhabit.

To collect a Saul Original artwork is to step into that world, a world of class, nostalgia and architectural imagination. Ethan’s work invites the viewer to slow down, observe, and enter a space where surrealism and realism meet, grounded in structure but alive in imagination.
