About this artwork
This piece was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art, London, in 2024. I had two works shortlisted, and this one was selected for the exhibition.
The image came from an unexpected moment during a Zoom meeting with Jacqueline. Light from the window beside her fell across her face, leaving half of it in shadow. I was so struck by the effect that I quickly took a screenshot and later used it as the basis for the drawing.

Jon Hillier is a painter with a background in drawing, printmaking, and commissioned artwork, refined through early training at Luton School of Art and decades of creative entrepreneurship. He masterfully blends realistic and "ultra-realistic" techniques, using colour as tonal variation and employing both lifelike detail and bold, simplified compositions inspired by his screen-printing days. His art conveys a searching authenticity—each piece invites viewers to connect, find intrigue, and be gently moved by the underlying humanity and striking individuality he so honestly depicts.
