Biography

Calum Stevenson (b. 1997, Falkirk, Scotland) is a Scottish painter whose work explores movement, light, and the human form. He graduated with a BA(Hons) in Fine Arts from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in 2019 before earning an MA in Fine Art Practice from the Glasgow School of Art in 2020.

Stevenson gained national recognition in 2021 when he became the youngest and first Scottish artist to win Sky Portrait Artist of the Year, a prestigious televised competition. His winning commission, a portrait of world-renowned violinist Nicola Benedetti, now resides in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection in Edinburgh. His work has since been acquired by many public and private collections, including The Oval in London and The Civic Collection for Glasgow’s City Chambers.
