David Atkins was born in Greenwich in 1964. He studied at St Martin's School of Art, London and later at Winchester School of Art.

Today David Atkins has established himself as an evocative painter of landscapes and urban scenes. His use of broad brush and colour creates bold and clear vistas of the city and landscape. He is particularly drawn to scenes of dawn and sunset and is an honest observer of the world around us.

David Atkins is an artist who excels at capturing the magic and majesty of the British countryside. His strong and confident brushwork successfully records the essence of his subjects be they landscape or urban cityscapes. Atkins produces highly textural oil paintings full of light, shade and atmosphere.

Talking about his contemporary paintings David Atkins says: "The tradition of landscape painting has always been at the heart of my drawing and painting. I work directly from the environment often revisiting places many times and in ever changing weather and seasons. In particular I have over the past five years concentrated my work around locations in Norfolk, Surrey and Dorset. In Norfolk I was drawn to the dramatic skies and the seemingly endless space. It is for me a very magical place. The fields and marshes always appear to reflect the light. The changing tides quickly transform the rivers and inlets from tranquil muddy channels to deep and fast moving waters allowing the boats to venture out to sea. The beaches are vast and shimmer with light - I always try to paint these in the early morning or at sunset. Recently I moved to Dorset and have been working on a series or paintings that have responded to very different and ancient landscapes. The hills and distant views contain for me many new subjects and problems to solve. The coastline is stunningly beautiful and very varied. My paintings are still concerned with capturing light, wind, rain and colour and I always try to capture in them an essence of what is experienced and discovered. They are produced with vigour and intuitiveness, allowing the process of working and reworking to consolidate a truthful response to the subject."
