Pauker paints in acrylic with both a brush and a palette knife, building up the surfaces of the works to a thick texture known as “impasto.” Although his subjects are varied and taken from locales all over the world, they are united with a sense of peace, natural beauty and tranquility. Pauker’s motivation comes from his passion to capture the essence of the places he visits. To an extent, his work can be said to be influenced by the Fauvist movement of late nineteenth century Paris. Inspired by the late Impressionist works of Gauguin and van Gogh, this group of artists pushed the boundaries with their bold color choices and simplified design. As with the Fauves, Pauker’s aim is to express emotion through color choice. His style could also be said to be reminiscent of the Impressionists, yet his colors are contemporary.
