Jonathan Speed is a self-taught artist specialising in contemporary landscapes and seascapes. His work explores the dynamic relationship between earth, water, and sky, with a particular emphasis on how these elements are shaped and defined by light. Working primarily in oil, Jonathan seeks to capture the unique atmosphere and energy of each environment, creating paintings that evoke a strong sense of space, movement, and mood. Influenced by his passion for photography, he is fascinated by fleeting moments—those dramatic shifts in light and atmosphere that define a scene. Travel continues to be a constant source of inspiration, from the peaceful charm of the English countryside to the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands and the rugged coastlines of Dorset and Cornwall. Rather than simply recording these places, Jonathan’s aim is to immerse the viewer within them—offering a visual experience that resonates emotionally and conveys the raw, elemental spirit of the landscape.
