Ash Davies is a young English artist unafraid to paint what he sees—be that people, wildlife, or landscapes—in a style that is aesthetic, recognizable, and precise. Dangerous words in today’s art circles.

“The themes that I do like to exaggerate in my work are color and chiaroscuro (light and dark). I love to increase the vibrancy of the colors as it adds life and energy to the scene I am painting,” Davies says on a video on his website.
