About Stephen

Stephen Daltrey — Architectural Artist & Model Maker

Stephen Daltrey is a British artist whose work celebrates the beauty, character, and quiet poetry of architecture. His paintings and model pieces capture buildings not simply as structures, but as living witnesses to time — each window, brick, and weathered surface telling a story of its own.

Originally a painter, Stephen’s fascination with the details of the built world gradually evolved into a broader artistic practice that bridges fine art, design, and craftsmanship. Working from his Kent studio, he now creates both intricate architectural paintings and highly detailed 3D models — each built entirely by hand, often combining traditional methods with custom 3D-printed elements and bespoke lighting systems.

His recent large-scale commission, a fully illuminated scale model of the Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel, London, marks a new chapter in his career — one that merges his painter’s eye with an engineer’s precision. The piece was constructed brick by brick, window by window, over months of meticulous work, showcasing his deep respect for architecture and his passion for craftsmanship at the highest level.

Stephen’s art invites viewers to pause — to notice the overlooked details in familiar places, and to rediscover the beauty of human-made spaces in miniature form. Quietly dedicated and completely self-taught, his work stands as a testament to patience, skill, and genuine artistry.
