About the artist

Swain Graham

United Kingdom

Graham Swain, born in 1962 in Guildford, England, studied painting at Portsmouth Art College after earning an honors degree in Architecture. His early musical background as a treble soloist in European cathedrals influenced his artistic vision. Swain’s work is known for precision in line, calligraphy, color harmony, and manipulation of perspective, creating contemporary, thought-provoking landscapes. Art historian Sally-Ann Schilling describes his process as contemplative, where every mark is a challenge, aiming to intuitively capture the essence of the visual experience in pure creation.
