Keith Athay
I am from a small village in Somerset. Working mainly in acrylics on canvas, my work is inspired by the colours, textures and structures in nature. Anatomy, science and chemistry all play a part in my creations. I try to harness and contain emotions of nature within my art. I have always had a calling for the visual image, I love composition and colour, and am constantly inspired by nature and the world around me. I first realised that I could actually make a career out of art when I studied at the City of Bath College. I stayed here for 3 years before going on to University to study design. After leaving university I worked for a top UK product design agency before running my own design business for several years. I have also worked freelance in industries such as filmmaking, graphic design, product design and website design. I now work full time creating paintings, Sculptures and photography for Galleries bars, restaurants, offices and private living spaces. My work is ever evolving and is ever changing as I grow and learn. As well as an artist I believe it is important that I am also a good businessman. I am dedicated to pleasing my customers as well as creating my art.
