Dan Hobday is a contemporary British artist based in Devon, England, whose work is recognised for its calming minimalism, organic textures, and evocative use of colour. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the English coastline, Hobday creates both abstract and landscape artworks that reinterpret natural forms through a modern lens. From his home studio, he works across multiple mediums, including acrylics, oils, inks, and digital tools - bringing together traditional techniques with contemporary approaches. The result is art that feels both accessible and emotionally resonant.
His compositions often feature soft layering, earthy palettes, and a sense of quiet balance, making them sought after by interior designers and collectors looking to introduce tranquility into modern spaces. Hobday’s artistic roots trace back to childhood, where his grandfather nurtured his creativity. This early influence was later refined through a two-decade career in graphic design, shaping his keen eye for proportion and composition. His portfolio spans seascapes, abstracts, landscapes, and botanical studies, each carrying his distinctive clarity and restraint.
With work available worldwide through online platforms and exhibitions, Hobday is committed to creating art that feels universal yet personal. Believing in the power of simplicity, his pieces invite reflection, connection, and calm into any environment.
