This poignant double portrait showcases Jeffrey's masterful command of time and legacy. The artwork captures Queen Elizabeth II in both youth and maturity, combining a profile of her later years with a frontal view of her younger self wearing the crown, set against a dramatic black and white background with metallic accents.
Jeffrey's distinctive style is evident in his precise rendering and sophisticated handling of light and shadow. His careful attention to both iterations of the monarch creates a piece that perfectly captures the dignity and dedication of Britain's longest-reigning sovereign across the decades of her service.
About The Artist
Ben Jeffrey, born in 1986 in Barnet, north London, discovered his artistic calling early in life, inspired by his family connection to renowned 18th-century watercolorist John Varley. His passion for art flourished during secondary school, where informal portrait competitions with classmates helped develop his skills.
Though formally educated in art through university level, Jeffrey's distinctive technique is largely self-taught, developing through experimentation with oil paints and color. His process typically involves two stages: establishing base colors across the canvas, followed by detailed layering, with compositions that evolve organically during creation.
Jeffrey's diverse portfolio spans portraits and landscapes, characterized by vivid colors and a modern style influenced by his love of sci-fi films and concept art. Drawing inspiration from the stunning landscapes of Herefordshire and the Isle of Harris, where his family has homes, he combines traditional oil painting techniques with contemporary vision.
Despite exploring digital art, Jeffrey remains committed to traditional oils, believing in their unmatched depth and tactile quality.
