Oliver Hatton
About the Artist
“For me, art is creative translation.
Learning, communicating, even inventing language.
Sometimes a technical challenge presents itself, but self-improvement is the long-term goal.
These reasons also generate another reward - learning to see ubiquitous beauty with fresh eyes.”
Oliver's father was an Art College Lecturer, so as a child he explored art college when most people had gone home.
Among other things, this fortunate introduction inspired in him a relationship with Art & Design.
In the mid 90's he started work as a traditional concept artist for a video game company and fairly swiftly made the move over into the digital world.
For the next two decades he made 2D and 3D digital artwork, usually for video game companies.
In 2012 he began painting again, and every year it becomes a more serious endeavour.
Originally from the UK, he lives with his wife Alice in Atlantic Canada.
