Born in South Wales, Angela Kilenyi has spent most of her adult life in London, working in international banking in the City. During a busy career she had limited time to devote to painting but in 1996 changed direction to concentrate on developing her artistic potential.

Having studied with various tutors, such as Francis Bowyer and Salliann Putnam, she now works with many local artist groups and exhibits mainly in the West London area. She concentrates on watercolours and inks and in recent years the human figure has been her primary inspiration. “ I very much enjoy working with the fluidity of watercolour and ink. There is always something of the unexpected which results from the medium itself, over which I have little control. Even when working in other media, such as oils or acrylic, I like to work fairly fast, to try and convey an element of spontaneity and freshness.

”Recently she has done an increasing amount of landscape work, especially of Mallorca, where she lives for part of the year.

Angela is a founder member of the Fountain Gallery Artists’ Association where she has exhibited extensively since its inception. Other galleries and fairs where she has exhibited include Karen Taylor Contemporary Art, The Landmark Art Fair, Orleans House Gallery, Flip and the Collyer Bristow Gallery.
