About Amelia Taylor

I am a UK-based artist specialising in detailed portraiture, working primarily in acrylic and graphite. My work focuses on capturing character, emotion, and presence through expressive mark-making, layered texture, and careful attention to light and shadow.

Inspired by cinematic imagery, classic portrait photography, and iconic figures, I am drawn to faces that tell a story. Whether working in bold, textured acrylics or refined graphite, I aim to create portraits that feel both powerful and intimate, balancing realism with atmosphere.

Texture plays an important role in my acrylic paintings, adding depth and movement that changes with the light, while my graphite drawings explore tonal contrast and fine detail to achieve a photorealistic finish. Each piece is created by hand with care and intention, resulting in a one-of-a-kind original artwork.

My goal is to create artwork that connects with the viewer and becomes a meaningful focal point within a space. All of my work is original, signed, and created using high-quality materials.
