I’m a painter living in High Wycombe. 

I paint figures and scenes in oil, aiming to spark a thoughtful reaction or a fleeting moment of joy or well-being.

I’m inspired by childhood memories, stories and nostalgia.

As well as brushes, I use brayers and palette knives to create surface texture, and sometimes allow transparency of paint to give a dreamlike quality to my scenes.

I  also paint portrait commissions and aim to give a reflective and true depiction of my subject.

After taking an Art Foundation course at Bucks College, I went on to study Graphic Design at university, and I’m still a practising Graphic Designer today. Daily thought and conversation in my day job about composition, colour and atmosphere enriches my painting practice.

Wolfango Chiappella

I’m a British-Italian artist, based in Buckinghamshire but originally from the rolling hills of Piedmont, Italy. I paint mostly in oils, working from memory, sketches, and those quiet moments when a place stops you mid-step.

My work tends to orbit around landscapes — not the grand postcard kind, but the everyday corners where light, sky, and earth have a quiet conversation. I’m drawn to the shifts in weather, the worn paths, the way a tree can lean into a field like it's got a story to tell.

I’m not much for big statements. I paint what I notice, and sometimes what I miss. Sometimes I’m chasing a real memory, sometimes it’s the feeling of one.

Each painting is a small attempt to hold onto something fleeting — a sky clearing after rain, the gold haze of a summer field, the hush just before dusk. If you find a bit of yourself in any of them, then the painting’s done its job.
