I studied illustration at the Edinburgh College of Art, where I developed a deep foundation in both traditional technique and creative expression. In 1998, I relocated to Sweden, where my artistic career was more of a hobby under the name Gareth B. Rychter.

The birth of my son prompted a powerful shift in focus. Choosing to prioritise fatherhood, I stepped away from the art world to embrace that chapter of life fully.

Now, in 2025, I return to the canvas with renewed energy and clarity, working under the name Gareth A. Rychter. My current practice explores two distinct yet complementary styles: one rooted in the immediacy and spontaneity of observational sketchbook work, the other in the precision and stillness of photo-realism. Together, these approaches reflect a lifelong engagement with both the fleeting moment and the carefully constructed image.
