Samuel Hencher, an English painter and illustrator, was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1971. He exhibits a versatile approach to his art, using both watercolors and oils depending on the subject he wishes to portray. Samuel's artistic repertoire encompasses landscapes, cityscapes, and figurative works, all of which are deeply inspired by the interplay of light and mood rather than merely focusing on the physical elements. He adopts a rapid painting technique, relying on sketches made in situ and his memory instead of using reference photos. This allows him to achieve a loose and natural effect, aiming to evoke feelings and emotions in the viewer, transcending the precise subject of the painting.
In addition to his work as a painter and illustrator, Samuel Hencher is a skilled visual effects artist, specializing in Flame. He predominantly applies his talents to commercials and music videos, adding a creative dimension to these projects.
Beyond his prowess in painting and VFX, Samuel has also ventured into the realm of commercials directing. Currently residing in Berlin, Germany, he continues to explore new avenues to express his artistic vision and passion for visual storytelling.
