About me

I’m Chris Marshall, an emerging contemporary artist from Wales. My professional career began in late 2022, marking the start of an exciting new chapter in my creative life. I primarily work with oil on canvas, creating pieces that are honest, and deeply personal, reflecting how I see the world around me, as well as my own inner experiences and the collective human condition.

My paintings draw heavily on my love of art history, symbolism, and spirituality. I find inspiration in exploring themes of identity, connection, and the emotional landscapes that bind us together. By blending vibrant colours, dynamic compositions, and organic movement, I aim to create a sense of wonder and reflection in my work. For me, each piece is a conversation—one that invites viewers to find their own meaning and stories within it.

I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of classical and modern traditions. I love merging timeless techniques with a contemporary perspective, which you’ll often see in my work. I want my paintings to resonate emotionally and spiritually, leaving an impact that lingers.

Since starting my professional career, I’ve dedicated myself to pushing the boundaries of my artistic expression. I’m constantly exploring new ideas, techniques, and ways to challenge myself creatively. Working from my studio in Warwickshire, every new piece is a step forward in this ongoing artistic journey.
