FIGURATIVE ARTIST AND PORTRAIT PAINTER

Simon is a UK-based artist specialising in expressive figurative painting, portrait commissions, still lifes, and landscapes. Trained at Goldsmiths, London Fine Art Studios, and Kingston Art College, he blends classical 18th–19th century atelier techniques with a background in professional graphic design to create dramatic works that go beyond photographic realism.

Working primarily in oils and charcoal, Simon focuses on composition, light, form, and colour to produce striking, finely crafted images.
