Beskrivning från säljaren
Hiding in Candlelight är en evocative portrait sketch? No, must translate: Hiding in Candlelight is an evocative portrait sketch that explores the transformative effects of artificial light through a painterly approach inspired by John Singer Sargent. Completed in just two hours, the work depicts a solitary figure illuminated solely by the glow of three candles, creating a rich atmosphere of intimacy and quiet mystery.
Rather than pursuing meticulous finish, Diya James concentrates on the relationship between light, colour and mood. The warm candlelight dissolves into deep surrounding shadows, allowing the face and exposed shoulders to emerge gradually from darkness. Loose yet confident brushwork reinforces the immediacy of the painting while preserving the fleeting quality of the moment.
The painting demonstrates the artist's understanding that visual impact often depends less upon detail than upon the orchestration of light and tonal harmony.
Executed in oil on linen.
60 × 70 cm.
Painted from life in approximately two hours using only candlelight as illumination.
The work is offered rolled, allowing collectors the opportunity to frame and stretch the canvas according to their own preferences.
International shipments may be subject to customs duties and import taxes, which are determined by local authorities and are the responsibility of the buyer.

About the artist:
Diya James is a contemporary realist portrait painter and draughtsman whose practice is rooted in the traditions of classical atelier training. Educated at the renowned Charles Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy, James developed a rigorous approach to painting directly from life, specialising in portraiture executed at life scale.
Drawing inspiration from the enduring legacy of classical sculpture and the dramatic naturalism of Baroque painting, James combines technical precision with a sensitive psychological approach to representation. His work explores the timeless relationship between artist and sitter, balancing disciplined observation with an intimate understanding of character and presence.
Alongside his personal practice, James teaches portrait painting, continuing the atelier tradition of passing technical knowledge from one generation of artists to the next. He also undertakes private portrait commissions, producing works distinguished by their quiet realism, refined craftsmanship and enduring sense of humanity.
Diya James is represented by Havisham & Co., where his paintings are introduced to collectors through curated sales and selected auction placements.

Säljarens berättelse
Havisham & Co. grundades på övertygelsen att samtida konst fortfarande kan bära en känsla av arv. Med bas i London arbetar vi nära tillsammans med en liten grupp konstnärer vars praktiker präglas av klassisk balans, symbolik och materiellt djup.
