Branok Hendra

Mystical ancient Cornwall — standing stones and sacred sites at dusk

Branok Hendra works from a granite cottage on the edge of West Penwith, walking the moors at dawn and dusk to sketch the antiquities — Men-an-Tol, the Merry Maidens, Lanyon Quoit. Trained as an illustrator, he builds each image in layered ink washes and gouache, bordered like a page from an old book of Cornish legend.

Branok Hendra draws the old, quiet places of Cornwall — standing stones, quoits and holy wells under gloaming light. His ink-and-gouache illustrations carry a storybook hush: sacred sites rise out of moorland mist, framed by fine decorative borders, in deep dusk palettes of indigo, violet and gold. No figures — the stones themselves hold the magic.
