Steven Smith is a consummate figurative realist artist, he is one of the UK's most exciting young figurative artists. his extraordinary work is built on the tenets of classical style but each piece is an exceptional example of contemporary photo-realism.

Steven was born in Preston, Lancashire, in 1974. He studied Fine Art at Middlesborough University then set up a studio and soon became a successful Scenic Painter and Mural Artist working on commissions throughout the UK and Europe. In 2011 he had the opportunity to work with professionaly models in a studio setting and began to develop the stunning figurative style that has brought his work to prominence.

Whilst his reputation grew as a great scenic painter Steven continued to feed his passion for portrait and landscape painting and his extensive travels allowed him to visit many famous galleries and see major works of art at first hand.

He studied the techniques used by both comtemporaries and old masters, from European painters like Botticelli, Caravaggio & Delacroix to those of more recent American artist such as Chuck Close, ralph Goings & Richard Estes. Combining these influeces he developed a classical, yet very photo realistic style of oil painting.

Steven has created a series of large scale paintings for museums such as the National Army Museum and the Natural History museum, his work has appeared on film & television sets, in hotels such as DeVere and recently at the exclusive Funky Buddha in Mayfair. he has exhibited in many successful shows and his growing reputation has led to portrait commissions for boser Amir Khan & the footballer Kevin Davies.
