Steven Allan Griffiths

Welcome

Your preconceptions about watercolour painting could change.

The meticulous approach to my work is not mere representation, but a process of drawing potent information from the objects depicted through a sensitive and atmospheric use of the medium.

There is, however, no intended symbolism in the paintings, any possible meanings are entirely open to individual interpretation.

Biography

Born in Carmarthenshire, Steven initially studied at Dyfed College of Art before gaining a BA (Hons) Degree from Newport School of Art and an MA from The University of Reading, followed by a PGCE from The University of Wales.

His work is based on a fundamental fascination with inanimate objects and the sense of drama that these seemingly everyday forms can convey when depicted in a particular setting or in relation with each other.

The meticulous description of these forms is not mere representation, but is a process of drawing potent information from the objects depicted through a sensitive and atmospheric use of watercolour and through this, creating a richness and depth not commonly associated with the medium.

Steven is an elected member of The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, and has been a Fine Art lecturer and professional artist since 1991. His work is exhibited worldwide and is part of many private and public collections.
