Lyndon Roderick (45) is a Swansea born artist working and living in Wales.
Art has always been a passion for Lyndon and as a child, he would spend most of his free time drawing and painting the human anatomy from biology books.

Continuing to paint throughout his life in watercolour, gouache and then at a later stage, oil, Lyndon directed his attention to portrait painting, He spent a number of years developing his skill and style as a portrait artist in oil and also as a photographer, a medium that he considers a wonderful contributory tool for his art.
Deciding to veer away from traditional portraiture. Lyndon’s unique style is considered “photo-realism” and inspired by artists such as Caravaggio, Chuck Close and Gerhard Richter.
