Simon Treadwell
Simon Treadwell was born in 1961 and currently lives in Tuscany. Since childhood, he was fond of drawing and painting. Simon decided to become an artist at the age of 14 after seeing paintings by Max Ernst at the Guggenheim Museum. After graduating from high school, he studied at the European Institute of Design in Milan and then began working as an art director for advertising agencies. As a self-employed illustrator, he became a specialist in hyperrealism, using mixed media, airbrush, oil, acrylic and watercolor. Later, he began to create digital paintings using his Mac, which is still his loyal friend. After many years as an illustrator in the advertising and publishing industry, Simon dedicated his ability to design paintings specifically for Christmas products. Simon is constantly experimenting and discovering new ideas and techniques to better illustrate the wonders of Santa and his magical world.
