Elin Siân Blake is a contemporary Brecon-based artist, originally from the South Wales valleys, whose work delves deeply into the rich tapestry of Welsh heritage. Through various mediums, she creates poignant reflections of societal and cultural issues that have shaped the Welsh identity.
Born in 1981, Elin Siân Blake began producing commissioned artwork from an early age, focussing on the traditional Welsh ponies and landscapes of her childhood. She was particularly inspired by the agricultural and equestrian events she attended. As a teenager she spent all her spare money on art supplies. Blake graduated from the University of Glamorgan in 2002 with a degree in graphic design and illustration, but quickly realised that she wanted to create conventional paintings, rather than producing digital images. She then spent several years living on the road in vintage vehicles, painting the scenes and characters she encountered on her travels.
Blake taught herself oil painting using library books, originally producing very detailed photo-realistic images. Her artistic style developed considerably over the years, becoming more expressive.
Blake’s main emphasis is always her love of images from the Welsh countryside and industry. As she explores the heritage of the Welsh valleys, she paints a social commentary on everyday Welsh working life. Her work captures the essence of Welsh tradition whilst simultaneously challenging societal norms. Bold and evocative, Blake's art invites the viewer to take a critical look at the complexities and nuances of Welsh heritage. By melding her artistic vision with a profound cultural understanding, she presents a thought-provoking examination of the past, present, and future of Wales.

This exceptional original oil on canvas, entitled Fronarth Northern Star, captures the strength and elegance of the Welsh Cob equestrian horse, a breed renowned for its power, beauty, and noble carriage. Painted in 2010 by the celebrated Welsh artist Elin Sian Blake, the work reflects her reputation for portraying traditional Welsh scenes and cultural icons with authenticity and depth.
The composition presents a proud Welsh Cob in the foreground, its lustrous coat highlighted with vibrant brushwork and expressive textures. Behind the horse, a rustic rural setting with figures and a traditional Welsh building adds atmosphere and grounds the subject firmly in the cultural landscape of Wales.
Blake’s confident use of light and colour captures both the physical presence and spirited essence of the Welsh Cob, embodying a breed central to Welsh heritage. The painting is signed by the artist in the lower right corner, marking it as a highly collectible example of early 20th-century Welsh equestrian art.
Perfect for collectors of equestrian paintings and Welsh heritage art, Fronarth Northern Star stands as a timeless celebration of Wales’s enduring traditions and its most iconic horse breed.
