Tony Thielen is an American painter who translates coastal light into serene, atmospheric abstractions. Born in 1984 and raised in Huntington Beach, California, he grew up surfing at dawn, an experience that imprinted the shifting hues of sky, sea and mist into his visual memory. After studying studio art at Loyola Marymount University he spent several years as a scenic artist for film and television, learning to manipulate acrylics on enormous backdrops; that training surfaces today in his ability to build luminous depth across canvases that often exceed six feet. Working in mixed media, Thielen layers acrylic, ink, powdered pigment and clear resin, sanding between coats to reveal ghostly undercurrents of color. The process is both additive and reductive: he pours, wipes, scrapes and glazes until a soft horizon line emerges, suggesting an ocean that never quite comes into focus. Turquoise dissolves into blush, charcoal into pearl, creating a meditative tension between calm and instability. His stated aim is to capture the moment when sunlight first cracks the marine layer, a fleeting glow that surfers call glass off. Collectors respond to that emotional clarity; solo exhibitions at Sue Greenwood Fine Art, Samuel Owen Gallery and Studio 7 Gallery regularly sell out, while commissions hang in corporate lobbies from Newport Beach to Tokyo. Despite demand, Thielen maintains a daily ritual of paddling out before sunrise, returning to the studio with salt still on his skin and the day’s first palette already mixed in his mind.

Dylan Bell is a British artist who lives and works in the United Kingdom. Born in 1990, he studied fine art at university before devoting himself full time to painting. His practice centres on oil on linen, applied in thin veils that allow the weave of the cloth to remain visible. This restraint gives each canvas a quiet luminosity, as if the image has been discovered rather than imposed.

Bell’s subject matter shifts between coastal light, urban dusk and the human figure caught in moments of reflection. He begins with photographs taken on long walks, then edits the scene down to essential shapes and tones. Translucent layers of umber, ultramarine and soft violet are built up over weeks, creating depth without heavy texture. The final surface appears almost breathless, a balance of precision and suggestion that invites the viewer to complete the narrative.

Recent bodies of work have focused on harbours at twilight, where moored boats and distant street lamps glow against failing sky. These paintings record not only a place but also a sensation: the hush that settles when wind drops and water turns glassy. Bell exhibits regularly throughout the UK and has placed work in private collections across Europe and North America via Saatchi Art. When he is not in the studio, he continues to walk coastal paths and city edges, gathering notes and snapshots that will feed the next canvas. By offering atmosphere ahead of detail, Bell reminds us that memory and landscape are equally fluid, shaped as much by mood as by fact.
