PROFILE

My Originals hang all over the world; from the private collections in Hollywood homes and offices in London to my local gallery and homes all over Britain. Now to reach as wide an audience as possible, to increase the value of the originals and allow everyone to enjoy my art I have decided to sell prints of my paintings.
My website

Some history about myself:
I was born in 1972 in Portsmouth England. I grew up in Wallingford, a small town in Oxfordshire, England. My Mother a local artist ran an art shop and gallery in the town, and I was always surrounded by art and artists. I was a sickly child and spent much time away from school, I spent much of that time painting and drawing. I studied at Bournemouth and Poole Art Collage for a few of years. But learnt nothing of any use. After which I became withdrawn and quite unwell. I lived alone, not seeing anyone for weeks at a time. Spending all my spare cash on paint and canvas. Painting my way out of my darkness, and teaching myself new ways to approach my art. Now many years later, with the support of my girlfriend I paint everyday and sell it too. My work is often abstract and surreal. I do try and keep a balance of both abstract and figurative, so that the styles can influence each other.
I may not know where I’m heading but I’m enjoying the journey. I do hope my art enriches your life.
Best Regards Samuel Durkin_

Samuel latest editions to his portfolio have a distinct style and mood. His style reminds me of the works of the impressionists in the way he captures light but it also reminds me of Turners work in that the colours blend to create a very poetic, romantic mood.

I hope you agree with me that Samuels works is very beautiful and take a look at his portfolio which also contains some surrealism, photography and digital artwork.

These paintings are so beautiful.  I especially love the city-scapes and skylines.
