Steph Fonteyn initially started painting classic cars as a challenge from an art collector who asked her if she could paint something other than portraits. And, much to her delight, she discovered a whole new world of inspiration in the personalities and unique characteristics of these classic automobiles.
With each painting, Steph captures the spirit of the cars, imbuing them with their unique energy and charisma. From the sleek lines of a vintage Jaguar to the beloved curves of a classic VW Beetle, each vehicle becomes a work of art in its own right.
Through her bold and dynamic paintings, Steph challenges us to see the beauty and artistry in the world around us. So, join her in celebrating the spirit of cities and classic cars with the Urban Landscapes series.
The London cityscapes were painted in dedication to Steph Fonteyn's belated Cockney Grandma, who always believed in her granddaughter's artistic talent. Through muted tones and dynamic brushstrokes, these artworks evoke the sounds and sights of the urban landscape, from the revving engines of black cabs to the hustle and bustle of city streets.
Each painting reminds us of the vibrancy and diversity of urban life and the enduring allure of classic cars. So, whether you love cityscapes or automobiles, this collection offers something for everyone. Explore the Urban Landscapes series and experience the energy and character of the city like never before.
