Steven John Owen is a self-taught abstract painter born and based in Bristol, UK. His work explores colour, geometry and texture through carefully balanced compositions inspired by his background in garden design. Working with acrylic paint and custom-made oil pastels—created by melting and blending colours to suit his own palette—he builds layered surfaces that emphasise rhythm, material and subtle variation. Painting from his garden studio, his practice has grown alongside family life into a distinctive body of contemporary abstract work.
