Richard Simon Kirkby Fine Artist

Richard Simon Kirkby Fine Artist "Artist inspired by life, people & landscape — with projects and exhibitions from Worcester to Rome and beyond."

My work flows between emotion, nature, and abstraction — reflecting how I experience life and creativity. In portraits, I seek more than likeness; each face mirrors energy and vulnerability. My nature-inspired pieces celebrate renewal and resilience, with blossoms and landscapes as metaphors for growth and hope. In abstraction, colour and movement lead the way — a dance between chaos and harmony.

Across these worlds, I explore the inner and outer, the real and the imagined — searching for honesty, connection, and the beauty that emerges through change. To learn more about me and my work, please visit my website at

Where do you spend the most time? Does the art in that room actually reflect how much time you spend there?

The spaces we use most deserve the most thought.

On my mind lately: "Revive"

Hop On

This abstract painting channels the energy and rhythm of travel and the daily commute. The structured grid of intersecting lines suggests the organized chaos of city streets, train tracks, or subway maps, while the vibrant blue, yellow, and red hues evoke the blur of passing scenery and the constant movement of people and vehicles. Drips and splashes of color capture the fleeting moments and unexpected encounters that define a journey through urban space. The composition’s layered transparency and dynamic marks mirror the sense of anticipation, routine, and discovery that comes with moving through the city—each line and color a reflection of the stories, connections, and possibilities encountered along the way. This piece invites viewers to reflect on the beauty found in everyday movement and the ever-changing landscape of travel.

Here is a question worth sitting with: what do you actually see when you walk into your own home?

Not what is there, but what do you still notice? What draws your eye?

What have you stopped seeing because it has been there so long?

"The Solivagant And The Buzzard 2" and the online art gallery is here, if you need to switch things up.

"The Solivagant And The Curious Buzzard Atop Bredon Hill" // https://www.richardsimonkirkby.com/warehouse-originals-limited-editions-standard-products/original_art_products/the-solivagant-and-the-curious-buzzard-atop-bredon-hill

The Solivagant And The Curious Buzzard Atop Bredon Hill (2026). 90cm x 60cm. Acrylic on Canvas.

This acrylic painting presents a luminous rural landscape viewed from the path of a solitary walker. A red earth track curves through golden fields toward the top of Bredon Hill, whose cool blue form rises quietly against a sky alive with textured clouds. A lone traveller walking the winding path and a Buzzard observers. The painting balances warmth and distance, movement and stillness. As the third work in a series exploring the passage from trauma toward renewal, the scene suggests a quiet turning point—where grief begins to open into curiosity, endurance, and the possibility of a new horizon.
