Jeremy Daynes possesses a profound spirituality that he seeks to convey in his paintings. These are primarily figurative. Indeed, he particularly enjoys painting outdoors and begins to explore other, less traditional methods when painting in his studio.
Jeremy Daynes always dreamed of being a painter. For various reasons, he was never able to study art formally, but he began his professional life in the art world, first as a gallery assistant and then as a lecturer on the history of design. Ironically, this latter experience led him to lecture at Kingston College of Art in South London. It was only during school holidays that he could dedicate himself to drawing and painting. Jeremy Daynes later taught drawing classes. After settling in Switzerland, he devoted himself full-time to painting. He has exhibited in Lugano, Ascona, Caslano, and Sessa in Switzerland, and in Ponte Tresa, Italy. Given the beauty of the Ticino region, it was only natural that Jeremy Daynes began his work with landscapes. He then painted a series of portraits. Unable to ignore the events of September 11, 2001, he spent six months painting a series on that theme. Afterward, he began a series on the theme of Jazz, which was exhibited in the “Via Nassa” in Lugano. Upon his return to France, he resumed his teaching career while continuing to paint.
