Benjamin was born in Pembrokeshire in 1971. He now lives in Wimbledon,
SW London. He has been producing artworks since 1994 - specialising
in oils and acrylics.
There are obvious
influences from growing up on the coast of Pembrokeshire, West Wales
in the landscape style of many of his paintings. The choice of colours
often picks up on the tones of the sea, sky and sunsets. Nick's
Artworks are unique paintings with a twist. No brushes or tools
are used here - Nick paints using just his fingers!
“I
prefer to paint using my fingers as this technique results in a
real bond between the artwork and me. It allows for some intricate
blending of vibrant colours.”
Nick is a self-taught
artist - preferring to "have a go“ at new techniques
rather than following conventional schools of thought as to what
makes good art.
“My
paintings are usually purchased by people with a contemporary outlook
- who like a vibrancy and fresh approach. The paintings have a quality
that will leave you with a sustained interest - something that you
will want to look at over and again.”
Nick is keen
to break down the barriers that stuffy art galleries put up –
and make his artwork accessible to everyone. You can buy Nick's
Artworks through his many exhibitions (see the front page) or by
