"I do not try to recreate a scene or definite image of the landscape. I prefer to use the elements of what I see and feel to create an amalgamation or interpretation."
About
Steve Rostron is a contemporary artist and painter, creating semi abstract landscapes. He draws inspiration from where he lives in the Ribble Valley Lancashire. His work is moody, atmospheric and powerful. For Steve, the landscape is a thinking space, a place of meditation.
At the start of Steve's artistic journey he decided to be a teacher and worked in schools for 15 years. The need to make his own worked remained strong until he became a full time artist over 10 years ago. He continues to work in his studio using oil paints as his primary medium.
