Darryn remains one of the UK's most recognisable animal artists, with breathtaking detail & vivid recreations, he enjoys painting his animal portraiture with oils on linen.
The artist was born in South Africa in 1981 within the outskirts of the famous Kruger National Park and, unsurprisingly, his foundation and interest in wildlife and the natural world started with gusto.
His family would often holiday in the bush and experience African wildlife face to face, and he began to understand the great need for Conservation within his country.
Some of the detail we all enjoy within Darryn's painting comes from reference photos he gathers, research, personally seeing the animals within the bush and the many visits to breeding centres he makes.
His artwork is fantastically realistic & alive and as the years pass, he refines his paintings techniques for photo realistic reproduction of animal hair & patterns e.g. on the big cat artwork that sell so well around the UK.
Darryn is a modern master of photorealistic animal portraiture, specializing in wildlife art and big cats, although he has to date produced the limited edition 'Tender Touch' featuring Zebra.
