Millie Thompson is a visual artist based in Halifax, and a 2023 graduate from the University of Leeds with a degree in Art and Design. Her practice is grounded in acrylic and oil painting, where she employs a hyper-realistic style to depict everyday objects just as they are.
Millie’s work is primarily based on her own photographic source material, allowing her to retain a strong personal connection to each subject. She is drawn to the overlooked or mundane elements of daily life – household items, cluttered corners and ordinary compositions – transforming them into compelling and highly detailed scenes that feel both intimate and universal. Whether working to a set brief or developing independent projects, her compositions often reflect themes of familiarity, stillness, and memory.
Millie’s paintings invite viewers to pause and reconsider the quiet beauty of their surroundings, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the everyday.
