Simon McCall is a contemporary author and artist in digital/new media whose work is deeply rooted in the landscapes and legends of Northern England. Living and working in Cumbria, his creative process is a constant dialogue between the written word and visual expression.
Combining the disciplines of art and writing, Simon’s literary works often possess a cinematic quality, painting vivid pictures of the human condition against the backdrop of the wild Cumbrian fells. His novels explore themes of isolation, heritage, and the thin veil between reality and folklore.
Previously exhibited at the Florence Arts Centre, and finalist in the prestigious Anthology Magazine International Creative Awards, Simon is a British contemporary New Media artist, and author of ‘Digital & AI Art’ (Amazon & Kindle Unlimited).
Inspired by the landscapes of the English Lake District and seascapes of the Cumbrian coast, his style utilises colours, textures, light and perspective to represent, rather than recreate, landscape scenes.
“A fusion of traditional, heavily textured ‘impasto’ painting with modern digital design techniques, the results are Simon’s beautiful and unique abstract landscapes and seascapes which adorn the walls of homes, offices, hotels and public spaces around the world.” – Fine Art America
When not at his writing desk or digital studio, Simon can be found navigating the high ridges of the Lake District, which serve as his primary source of inspiration for both his prose and his atmospheric landscape paintings.
