My work is dedicated to the classical arts of portraiture, figurative studies, and contemporary still life.

My inspiration - 

As an established portrait artist, my inspiration is drawn from people and the objects they hold dear. It is my belief that exploring these elements allows for the creation of a portrait that is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a profound personal narrative. Beyond my work on private commissions, I am also available for painting demonstrations, workshops, and speaking engagements throughout the United Kingdom.

"We love the portrait Oliver has created of our two children and our cat. He has captured them so well. Oliver has a very collaborative style to the commissioning project and really wanted to get to know them and understand what we were looking for in a painting."
