When you first meet Louis Parsons you are struck by how modest he is. Yet in a matter of minutes you realise you are in the presence of someone with an extraordinary sense of purpose.

Louis is on a quest to enable art to express the unknown soul that lives in all of us. He has created a school of ‘spiritual portraiture’ - works of art that capture the emotional side of a person rather than the physical. His work is part of Relational Art, a concept that came out of Young British Art movement, led by Damien Hurst and Tracey Emin. It’s characterised by a desire to expresses a sense of emotional freedom, something dear to great artists like Mark Rothko, Sam Francis and Patrick Heron.

His work is collected worldwide - by wealthy collectors commissioning a SoulScape or someone buying for the first time, a giclée print of an Original Limited Edition. Whoever they are, they are united in their response to the meditative beauty within the work.

For over 16 years, Louis has devoted himself to an understanding of the human spirit. This is reflected, not just in his art, but also in his writings, his talks and the creativity workshops he has run for organisations such as BMW, RBS and GSK.

As you will discover, few men can show hardnosed business executives how to unleash the spiritual energy that lives within them and their company.

His natural gifts as a communicator are enhanced by his qualification as professional Insights Coach. A skill that allows him to put his clients at ease so that he can capture the essence of what is most precious to them.

When not painting or working with clients, Louis loves to scuba dive and surf - to lose himself and seek inspiration from all the colour and vibrancy under the waves. Louis lives in Cheltenham at the foot of the Cotswold Hills with his beautiful partner, Clare and their two children, Phoebe and Louie.
