Hi, Im Patrick Killian. Sporting Competitions aren't just my passion - for years they were my life. I started boxing in my youth and went on to box internationally and won a Welsh Amateur Boxing title in 1997.
For some people, that might have been enough, but something else was driving me toward a very different career. At the same time as boxing I was studying Fine Art and illustration and graduated with a distinction in 1995. And I knew then that, no matter how long it took, I was going to make it as an artist.
My dream has taken a lot of hard, painstaking work, but its really coming true. I started out by painting the battling boxers i'd known during my time in the ring. Then I branched out, including even more sporting champions. And today, im also capturing the most memorable moments of top musicians and movie stars.
