Spanish Prince - after Velasquez by Mateusz in Manchester

Learning the rigours of painting and drawing at an early age with private tuitions from professional artists until eventually graduating with a Masters form Manchester Metropolitan University I am now a practising artist, making a whole assortment of works, including illustrations done in colour on canvas or with ink and paper. Aside from photography I am primarily specialised in oil painting, having studied and trained the traditional means of old master paintings, their processes and materials, making reproductions of their works as well as my own work which has always been inspired and informed by greatest painters who have come before.
