Daniel Halksworth, an artist based in Sheffield, has cracked the code to success with his unique and mouth-watering paintings of fried eggs. What started as a simple experiment with everyday objects turned into a thriving business for the 43-year-old artist.
Halksworth’s partner, Caz Haigh, lost her retail job during lockdown, prompting him to start selling his art online. Little did he know that his realistic oil paintings of fried eggs would become a global sensation, with over 600 pieces sold to date.
