于1949年出生于斯洛伐克名为Čierny Brod的村子（加兰泰地区）。他就读于布拉迪斯拉发美术大学应用艺术和建筑装饰绘画系，通过了D. Milly教授的考核，师从O.Dubay教授和J.Matejka博士，并于1973年毕业。毕业后，他回到了斯洛伐克Kysuce地区，目前也在此定居并工作。

他早期专注于水彩、素描和纪念性艺术，特别是80年代和90年代创作了许多作品。饱满的红、棕、蓝、黄的鲜艳色调里有着柔和的线条、大自然中天然造就的形状、风景的描摹，这些都是他作品的特色。在水彩技法和风景主题上能明显看出他在视觉上的思考有着克制而系统的转换。帕沃尔·穆斯卡是少数系统性处理这一技法和主题的斯洛伐克艺术家。风景画主题和对自然的真实记录已经成为过去十年间创作的当代系统性抽象风景画和作品的起始点。独幅版画、素描和绘画的结合——机缘巧合之下的结合体在艺术家有目的性的干预下（填充、裁剪、上色）激发了观众，让他们主动参与到创作过程中。

除了风景画，艺术史中还有一个经典主题——肖像画，这是帕沃尔·穆斯卡单独一类作品。在作者的概念中，肖像画提供了最大胆的艺术和技法实验空间。

在创作初期，他就专注于创作他爱的人，包括他的妻子和女儿。在文化现实和他80年代和90年代专门系统学习的传统油画技法之外，他开始用摄影做实验。

一段时间后，他回归家庭照片，这需要他进行添加和艺术干预来获得新的语义关系。这是另一种感知方式，代表类型是大型黑白心理肖像画，反映了主要人物的生活。他们暂存的状态和印象的优势由艺术家再次用意味深长的艺术方式最大化来体现。数字化处理照片、彩色数字印刷实验同绘画结合在一起，是符合逻辑的转变。充满表现力的色彩层层叠叠，覆盖在肖像照片上，从而获得更多的语义和美学层次。

艺术家对于转变、成长、出生和死亡这连续过程的探索成为了不同艺术表达定位的统一主题，也成为了他作品的性质。

艺术家如此评价他自己的作品：“……我的作品是一个螺旋，不断摇摆，也不断回到对立面，例如：人——风景、细节——整体、感官——感受、自由——严苛、彩色——单色、现实——抽象。”

Born in 1949 in the village of Čierny Brod (Galanta district).

After graduating University of Fine Arts in Bratislava in 1973, where he had passed general preparation led by Prof. D. Milly and studies at the department of applied arts and decorative painting in architecture led by Prof. O. Dubay and Doc. J. Matejka, he returned to Kysuce where he still lives and Works.

In his early works he focused on watercolours, drawings and monumental art represented by numerous art-protists which were created especially during the eighties and nineties. Soft lines, natural shapes inspired by nature, indications of landscapes which we can only feel in rich deep tones of saturated colours of red, brown, blue and yellow have become the distinguishing feature of the author’s manuscript. A restrained but at the same time systematic shift in the author’s visual thinking has become most obvious in the technique and topic of watercolour and landscape. Pavol Muška is one of the few Slovak artists who is systematically dealing with this technique and topic. Landscape themes and real records of nature have become the starting point for contemporary abstract, organic looking landscapes and compositions created during the past ten years. The combination of monotypes, drawings and paintings - a connection of coincidence and targeted intervention of the artist (by filling, reducing, colouring) awakens in the mind of an observer an active participation in a creative process.

Besides landscape there is another classis topic of history of arts - a portrait, which is a separate chapter of Paul Muska’s work. Within the author’s concept it provides space for the most courageous artistic and technical experiments.

From the beginning of his work he has been focused on his loved ones, his wife and daughter. Along with cultured realism and traditional technique of oil paintings, which he programmatically deals with in the eighties and nineties, he begins to experiment with photography.

After a period of time he returns to old family photos that acquire new semantic relationships by the author’s multiplication and artistic interventions. There is another way of perception represented by large format black and white psychological portraits, which reflect lives of its protagonists. The strength of their statement and impression of a temporary existence the author maximizes again by a significant artistic gesture. Digitally manipulated photographs, experiments with colour, digital printing combined with painting have become a logical shift. Individual layers of expressive colours cover the photographic portrait, which thus acquires more semantic and aesthetic levels.

The author’s search for continuous processes of transformation, growth, birth and death became the unifying theme of apparently very different positions of artistic expression and it also became the very nature of his work.

The author says about his own work: ".... my work is a spiral, which gradually oscillates and thus also constantly returns to the opposites such as: human - landscape, detail - entirety, sense - feeling, freedom - strictness , polychromatic - monochromatic , reality - abstraction.”
