Abstract Art for Collectors in Manhattan Beach
Original Paintings by Paula Langstein
Paula Langstein is a Manhattan Beach–based abstract artist whose original paintings are collected by private art collectors and interior designers throughout the United States and internationally. Her work is created for collectors who value emotional depth, layered meaning, and artwork that continues to reveal itself over time.
Rooted in coastal California yet intentionally non-literal, Paula’s paintings explore human connection, movement, and intuition—resulting in work that feels both grounded and expansive within a space.
For Private Art Collectors

Collectors are drawn to her work for its:
Depth and nuance that evolve with repeated viewing
Layered surfaces and intuitive mark-making
Ability to anchor a room without overpowering it
Emotional resonance rather than trend-driven aesthetics
No reproductions are made of original works, ensuring each piece remains singular within a collection.
