Original oil on board 'Boats by Moonlight'

 

Ronald Cavalla was born in Camden Town, London in 1940, one of thirteen children. His father was a market trader who worked on Berwick Street and Covent Garden markets in London.

From an early age he enjoyed drawing, painting and modelling in clay but at first a career in art seemed out of the question. For some years he worked as a meter reader in the West End, frequently visiting Bond Street art galleries, and it was here that he first experienced the works of the Old Masters and felt particularly drawn to those of the Dutch School, particularly the seascapes.

Over many years Cavalla studied the works of the Masters and learned the techniques of the artists. He has had no formal training whatsoever but has a wonderful gift that has been honed by observation.

He now specialises in small seascapes, in oils, which capture the spirit and quality of a bygone era.
