Gary Benfield is one of the most
prolific & renowned contemporary artists in the world. The subtle
femininity captured with his perfectionist brush appeals to a wide base of
collectors & his work is in high demand worldwide. The background of Benfield’s
paintings is soft, reminiscent of Leonardo de Vinci’s sketches & sepia
tones, most of it defined only with pencil & a slight highlight of color.

professional freelance illustrator. After leaving the academic world he set up
his own studio near London and concentrated on drawing and painting figures.

reputation had become firmly established. Today, Benfield’s work enjoys mass
global appeal and is collected by art collectors throughout the world.
