Neil is a self-taught artist from London. His wish to become a painter was always blocked by real life commitments, but the desire never left him. Painting in oils since 2011, Neil fulfilled his ambition, becoming a full-time artist in 2017. One of Neil's paintings was selected for the Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition in the Mall Galleries, London, in 2014. Since then, Neil has been exploring and developing his own style. 'I don't set out to paint what is in front of me, I try to create something with atmosphere and interest based on the subject. I remove as much detail as possible and paint as broadly as my mood allows.’ Favouring everyday objects for his simple and elegant compositions, Neil invites the viewer to reconsider the beauty of these common items – while occasionally bringing in a light touch of humour with his choice of subject!
