Lee Jones,award-winning and internationally-acclaimed artist, was born in
Liverpool, England in 1968. Lee was able to absorb colours, lines and shapes
that enhance the figure from a young age. He won a national art competition
at the age of nine and left school at fifteen to pursue a display design
course. His personal artistic studies of the human form continued alongside
his course and was already exhibiting and selling his work locally.
At the age of 21 Lee Jones travelled to America to broaden his horizons and
opened a studio in Hollywood where he produced large semi-abstract art based
on the female aura. He returned to the UK in 1990 and continued to study
female beauty and has enjoyed numerous group and one-man exhibitions.
Lee has sat on the board of N.A.P.A. (National Acrylics Painters
Association) and prides himself on being a self-taught painter in what he
describes as a vocation rather than a profession.
Lee Jones is inspired almost to obsession by pure natural female beauty and
uses numerous styles and mediums in order to see every angle, form and
emotion needed to go beyond realism. Inspired by music, dance, culture,
mythology, erotica and fantasy, natural beauty and light, Lee brings out the
inner beauty of his models. His concept is to focus on her most attractive
qualities to capture a moment which reflects her personality and aura.
