Representational art is all about depicting real-world subjects — from people and places to everyday objects — in a way that we can easily recognise. Unlike abstract art, which focuses more on mood and imagination, representational art stays grounded in reality. It aims to reflect the world around us, capturing it with accuracy, emotion, and artistic flair.
This timeless style has played a key role throughout art history, offering a powerful connection between the viewer and the subject. It brings familiar scenes to life and often celebrates the beauty found in ordinary moments.
At Skylark Galleries, we’re proud to showcase a diverse selection of representational art. Each piece invites you to look closer, to see the world through the artist’s eyes, and to discover the extraordinary within the everyday. Whether it’s a peaceful landscape, a striking portrait, or a moment frozen in time, these works offer something truly captivating.
