Neil Helyard

Neil Helyard is a highly collected artist, whose work focusses on portraiture and the living form. Born in Beverley, East Yorkshire in 1951, Neil Helyard always had a passion for art.

Whilst working as an art tutor and mentor, and drawing on influences from Auerbach, Egon Schiele and the Italian Renaissance period, Neil pursued this passion, establishing himself for his variety of portrait styles and for executing his work in both a classical and contemporary manner whilst working in varying mediums. This varying style and medium, together with Neil’s use of colour, creates a dramatic, exciting and unexpected effect.
