Other artworks by Ramsay Allan
I worked from a photograph by media photographer Katherine Flannery when painting Stan. One of the things I particularly enjoyed was the contrast between his dark clothing and the rich emerald-green background. I wanted to keep the composition fairly simple, allowing the figure to dominate the painting.
He's wearing a leather jacket over a hoodie, with the hood resting around his neck, and of course those dark glasses, which make it rather difficult… to tell what he's thinking. I quite like that. There's something intriguing about a portrait where you can't actually see the person's eyes.
The reflections in his glasses were interesting to paint, too. They give us a little glimpse of what's happening outside the cafe window.
Stan has a strong presence, yet there's still something mysterious about him. You find yourself wondering who's behind those glasses.

Ramsay Allan
United Kingdom
Ramsay Allan is a Scottish oil painter whose self-taught roots evolved through intensive study, weaving classical and contemporary influences into his practice. He skillfully unites traditional craftsmanship with surreal, symbolic imagery, blending realism and dreamlike elements through the evocative use of light, texture, and atmosphere. Allan’s artworks radiate mystery and introspection, powerfully conjuring the resilience and beauty of the human spirit, and inviting viewers to encounter profound emotional truths.
Working primarily in oils, Allan combines the technical discipline of classical realism with the emotive power of surrealism, creating works that speak both to the intellect and to the heart.
