Make an appointment to go see this gallery. You won’t regret it! - We loved this gallery more than any we visited on Canyon Road. Paul’s art is original, engaging, and ranges from easy to carry small works to giant mural sized pieces. The colors and textures are unlike anything I have seen, because he makes his own pigments and plasters. These are not paints bought from an art supply store. He mixes mica, sand, turquoise and even gold, diamonds and fluorescent materials into his works. You must see it in person to appreciate what his lifetime of experience brings to his pieces.

A must-see experience! - What an absolutely incredible experience. I can not begin to explain the depth of Paul’s pieces, combined with experiencing them on such a unique property. I can try my best to use words explaining what these pieces look like, but I could not begin to explain what it feels like to see, and participate in the tour. I don’t want to spoil it… If you are considering booking or buying, I can not express anything other than DO IT!

Intellectual artist gives great tour - The gallery tour is an amazing experience. We didn't only look at beautiful paintings, we experienced them!!! As they transform right before your eyes under darkness as the lights go out and parts of the paintings glow mysteriously. Or under ultra violet light with another whole new look. Then put on the 3D glasses and do it all over again. Wow!!! I have two of Paul's pieces of art. Close ups pictured here but, the pics don't do them justice. Plus, the gardens, architecture and you get to meet Paul Seftel, the artist, who is very well rounded, knowledgeable in many things not just art. This was a refreshing time and well worth the visit.

Art in Cerillos! Magic and Wild! - Unbelievably cool experience! In the middle of New Mexico, the dirt roads, the fresh air… Paul and Kim showed us an incredible time. We learned so much of the native and natural materials in art, jewelry and a hint of mysticism. Would recommend this fantatsic immersive experience!

Totally worth it! - 100% a great side adventure from our time in Santa Fe. Paul was gracious, informative, and generous with insights from his extremely interesting and extraordinary life as an artist. His gallery is in the truly quaint old western town of Cerrillos and the whole experience was one I’d absolutely recommend to others.

Exquisite, entrancing, magical, unforgettable - Our dear "sister" and knowledgeable Santa Fe resident treated my sister and I and told us to be prepared for one of Santa Fe's greatest experiences--the Paul Seftel Gallery. Paul, radiant with joy and his love of discovering, shared his journeys and his luminescent paintings, alive with the lifeblood minerals of the Earth. When I saw his "White Tiger's Lair," glowing with silver and white, turquoise and copper, I knew it was meant for me. I, "The Woman Who Runs with Wildcats" (so dubbed by my Scribe Tribe), bought it. An ecstatic spiritual experience with a talented, generous artist and my equally generous sisters.
