Reborn Original Art by Ben Jeffery

Acrylic Painting
Framed: 95cm x 95cm
 
This ethereal piece showcases Jeffrey's masterful command of symbolism and technique. The artwork features a luminous golden butterfly against a deep teal background, framed by a metallic circular motif and delicate white flowers, with dramatic gold drips creating vertical movement.
 
Jeffrey's distinctive style is evident in his sophisticated handling of light and texture. His careful attention to the intricate wing patterns and metallic elements creates a piece that perfectly embodies its title, suggesting transformation and renewal. The interplay between the shimmering butterfly and the moody background captures both the fragility and strength of rebirth.
 
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.
