ABOUT

Maddy Gyselynck (pronounced ‘Geyser-link’, Flemish roots) is a British artist based in London. 

She creates unique oil paintings, drawings, and sculptures with a strong foundation in classical training.​ Her work is shaped by a deep understanding of light, form, and atmosphere. She works primarily from life, bringing a richness that sets her work apart in an art world dominated by photographic references. Maddy also tutors part-time at London Fine Art Studios, where she helps emerging artists develop strong technical foundations.

Before focussing on art during the pandemic, Maddy worked for three years in Risk & Compliance, with a particular focus on Financial Crime. She has a degree in Russian from the University of Bristol, and a Masters' in Russian Political Analysis at UCL.

Her artwork has been exhibited at The Tate Library, the 2025 Chelsea Arts Society Summer Exhibition, The Yarrow Gallery, The Gallery at Green & Stone, and London Fine Art Studios. It also hangs in private collections in the UK, France, Hong Kong, and the USA.
