Alexander Creswell is a British artist celebrated for his luminous architectural watercolours that capture both grandeur and atmosphere. Known for his mastery of light, structure, and space, Creswell has documented some of the world’s most iconic buildings and interiors with sensitivity and precision.
Educated at Eton and trained in architecture, Creswell’s fascination with built form and the passage of time has shaped his distinct visual language. Working exclusively in watercolour, he achieves an extraordinary depth and clarity through transparent layers of pigment, allowing light itself to become a central subject of his work.
Creswell gained international recognition for his series recording the aftermath of the Windsor Castle fire and for his collaborations with the Royal Collection and leading heritage institutions. His paintings blend technical discipline with poetic stillness, revealing both the permanence of architecture and the fragility of memory.
