About Me

I'm Gykin, an artist from Staffordshire, United Kingdom.

I've been an artist since I was a child, using anything I could get my hands on to create!

Turning nothing into something has always inspired and fascinated me! - Staring at a blank canvas wondering where it will take you, then after all the hours and emotion, standing back and absorbing your work, realising the outcome, is mesmerising!

I primarily work in Pencils, Inks, Acrylics and Watercolours as I love loose, expressionistic pieces which can be interpreted in so many ways.

All art provokes a reaction!

I like to keep my work varied, fresh and interesting so I will create anything that intrigues me.

I don't confine myself to one 'genre' of art, as creating should be freeing and an outlet to express.

I find inspiration and beauty in the world around me, any subject be it nude, flowers, animals etc in whichever style I feel inspired to create, mainly being: Abstract, Expressionism/Impressionism and Illustration.

I create with passion, instinct and meaning.

Three words fuel my creativity

Imagine - an idea and how it will look. But what medium? What style?

Create - the work is created and most likely has differences to what was imagined. But is the outcome intriguing or rewarding? Were abilities stretched and new techniques tried?

Inspire - art was made, creativity fulfilled. Regardless of the outcome, an idea into reality. You inspire yourself from creating a piece from a concept. And now, means you've inspired others to create with freedom!

Imagine, Create, Inspire

I have exhibited with several London Galleries and have been featured in various Artist magazines.
