This luminous seascape showcases Payne's masterful command of light and atmosphere. The artwork features a solitary figure on a beach at sunset, with dramatic clouds rendered in whites and blues framing a brilliant orange glow that reflects across the water.
 
Payne's distinctive style is evident in his sophisticated handling of natural light and reflection. His careful attention to the interplay between sky and sea creates a piece that perfectly embodies its title, capturing both the physical radiance of the setting sun and suggesting an inner light that mirrors nature's own luminescence.
 
About The Artist
Ben Jeffrey, born in 1986 in Barnet, north London, discovered his artistic calling early in life, inspired by his family connection to renowned 18th-century watercolorist John Varley. His passion for art flourished during secondary school, where informal portrait competitions with classmates helped develop his skills.
 
Though formally educated in art through university level, Jeffrey's distinctive technique is largely self-taught, developing through experimentation with oil paints and color. His process typically involves two stages: establishing base colors across the canvas, followed by detailed layering, with compositions that evolve organically during creation.
 
Jeffrey's diverse portfolio spans portraits and landscapes, characterized by vivid colors and a modern style influenced by his love of sci-fi films and concept art. Drawing inspiration from the stunning landscapes of Herefordshire and the Isle of Harris, where his family has homes, he combines traditional oil painting techniques with contemporary vision.
Despite exploring digital art, Jeffrey remains committed to traditional oils, believing in their unmatched depth and tactile quality.
