John was born in Somerset, England. He has painted since he was around 12 years old. He attended small class lessons from Anne Hoenig on Ibiza for several years, and also attended Central Saint Martins London for a course in Abstract Expressionism led by Ewa Gargulinska.

"I never stop marvelling at the miracle of existence, not just us living creatures, but the universe itself. All matter. I believe art can show something of what cannot be understood intellectually. That it can be a connection to the mystery of the universe."

John Veale is an abstract expressionist painter, living in Ibiza. His work reveals creative vibrancy, bold use of colour with physical unplanned energy and movement. He has found the freedom to create artwork that is courageous, emotional and passionate.
