Steve Light

I am a figurative artist who reveals personal issues that affect many people through my art. Issues such as body image, anxiety, adoption trauma, kidney failure and crippling shyness. I enjoy using large canvases to make a large impact and also venturing into mural art. I have been told my style is unique and has something special about it. I certainly agree that it is my own unique style and I let my passion for drawing and painting come through naturally, rather than trying to apply a particular technique.

Being self-taught affords me that freedom, and I’m glad things have turned out the way they have. I dropped out of my A-level Art class because my tutor said I can’t draw on a large scale, I got upset with his remarks and left his class for good. My career then was focused on web design for many years, so I got to fulfil my hunger for creating and my love of technology until I picked up art again in 2019, after nearly 20 years, I haven’t looked back since. Living life over those 20 years has given me so much more to talk about through my art than if I started an art career straight after studying.
