Henry has always been interested in artistic creation and began training in England at the Academy of Bath and then at the Art School of Winchester before ending his education by spending several months at the Fine Arts School of Barcelona in Spain. Henry devoted his education to sculpture, painting and drawing and also took advantage of this transitional period to go discover new geographic places such as Russia and Spain. The young artist graduated with honours in 1987, and decided to keep the adventure going by leaving to explore the vast territory of the United States where he settled in New York before leaving again to go to Australia. His journey ends in 1990 when he decides to settle in London.
Deeply attached to observing scenes of life, Henry conceives his sketches on the spot and likes to produce many of his watercolors en plein air. He reserves his studio for the meticulous execution of more complex watercolors and large-format oil paintings. His aim is not to reproduce reality with perfection, but to capture the atmosphere of the scene he is contemplating. Thus, executed with lively, spontaneous gestures, Henry's works suggest more than they show, plunging the viewer into a certain emotion that could be akin to dreaming or remembering. Henry's sensitive, poetic writing is nourished as much by his daily practice as by the work of painters he admires and his visits to the many exhibitions on offer in the English capital.
