Jon Lucas Devon, United Kingdom
I am a contemporary artist working with traditional and digital fine art methodology, with a focus on colour and light and have explored various themes in my work. I was born in Chiswick, London and now I am based in Bideford, North Devon.
Experience: Art has been my constant for more than thirty years. Beginning with printmaking and sculpture, my path shifted in the late 90s toward digital media—where colour, light, and nuance now shape the core of my work. Educated at Bretton Hall College, University of Leeds (BA Hons and MA Fine Art), I bring not only artistic discipline but lived experience: a lifetime of skills, some far from the studio, yet every one woven into the fabric of creation.
Style: Drawing from a fusion of traditional methods and digital expertise, I create fine art that commands attention through its interplay of colour and light. My goal is to craft visually arresting pieces that spark connection, emotion, and lasting impact.
Process: I work intuitively, without predefined vision, capturing spontaneous scenes using my iPhone—whether in natural environments or unexpected locations. I begin shaping the image immediately, preserving it in the cloud for later refinement. From rapid 30-minute sketches to layered, time-intensive compositions, each piece reflects an evolving dialogue between medium and muse. My iPhone serves as my sketchbook—a digital canvas for my artistic instinct.
