Simon Knight

Simon is a Cornwall based Artist who spent most of his life in the county and his passion for drawing has always driven him to fulfil a creative career. Having not drawn since school, he picked up the pencils in 2012 to try and reproduce photos with as much realism as possible. What you see now is nearly 15 years of devotion to his skill, with improvement made on every next drawing.

Simon’s artistic practice is driven by a deep curiosity for surface, light, and the way materials can be transformed through meticulous detail. His hyperrealistic drawings are designed to blur the line between image and reality, creating striking visual effects that feel almost tangible. Every work reflects both technical mastery and a playful exploration of perception.

For Simon, art is meant to be felt as much as it is seen. He strives to create pieces that spark genuine emotional responses — whether that’s joy, nostalgia, wonder, or something more personal and unexpected. Rather than serving as mere decoration, his work is intended to resonate on a deeper level, connecting with viewers in ways that go beyond words.
