Colin Davies

Colin Davies is a self-taught, professional artist based in South Wales.

Inspired by the beautiful coastline and mountains of his home, his work often depicts the power and vitality of the ocean surrounding the Gower Peninsular.

Using mainly oil and acrylic paints, his expressive style is created with the generous application of paint using a palette knife, often finished with brush worked detail. Textural contrast creates mood and the impression of movement in the paintings.

“I love to watch the sea whipped into a wind-blown frenzy, I can sit for hours, listening to the waves crash in a ferocity of noise and power. I strive to paint that noise and to communicate the drama of the powerful presence of unstoppable, grabbing water cascading inland with pounding fury.”

Colin’s atmospheric representation of the rugged beauty of the coastline is emerging as a popular choice for both UK and international collectors and is now exhibited regularly at galleries across the country.
