His Approach

The Process

His Approach

He never beings a painting in a standard or repetitive way. Each artwork develops naturally and intuitively, guided by feeling and emotion. When he starts painting, it becomes a journey - one where he is never completely certain of what the final destination will look like

“The experiences along the journey determines what the final destination will become”

— Stef Norval

The Signature

Approval

Every painting that leaves the studio carries Stef's personal approval. Once he is satisfied a piece is truly finished, he signs it by hand — his signature is his promise that the work is complete and that he stands behind it.
