Jon Berkeley - pictured here with his outdoor studio assistant Dolores - is a Dublin-born painter and illustrator. He graduated in Fine Art from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, and now lives and works in the hills outside Barcelona. His paintings draw on the simmering colour of the Spanish landscape and the bold exuberance of fiesta culture, creating a world that is at once eclectic and serene.
