Selected Works
Cerys Knighton is a 28-year-old Welsh artist from Porthcawl.
She mostly draws with a pointillism technique, layering thousands of individual ink dots in shades of black, grey, and bronze to build textures. Her drawings also contrast textures of pointillism against winding lines of ink and softer pencil textures. Beyond drawing, Cerys also creates sculptural work, combining acrylic painting or decorating slips and glazes on clay with driftwood and flora that she shapes and dries into particular expressions.
