Nan | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Nan
  • United States of America (the)
Nan's life could be summed up as creating, teaching, and watching Paint. Precocious, she began her art studies at the age of five at the Brooklyn Museum Art. At the same time, she practiced ice dancing, which led her to the title of New York State Junior Champion at age twelve. As a teenager, she chose to make painting her life. \Having grown up in art museums, she has kept this pleasure of knowledge and its transmission. In addition to her creations, she regularly shares her knowledge in painting workshops in France, Italy, Mexico and Greece. Her work is influenced by the history of art in general, but her love for Fauvism (a movement from the beginning of the 20th century) is evident in her works. His favorite painters are Matisse (1869-1954), Dufy (1877-1953), de Vlaminck (1876-1958) or David Hockney (XXth-XXIst centuries) and his chromatic imagery. After using fixative to protect the composition, she continues by developing her drawing with wax crayons. She then adds oil pastels, leaving spaces to be filled in with the final layer of watercolor. The watercolor meets the resistance of the oil pastels and fills in any empty space, even unexpected places, making each step along the way to the final canvas a discovery. She draws her inspiration from her immediate environment or from her travels. Nan always tries to transcribe her memories and emotions to relive and remember the "beauty seen" and experiences had. All of her work comes from her love of intensified color, decoration, the little mischievous, unforeseen, design that is both clear, limpid... Animated, colorful - even colorful -, dynamic, incredibly vivid and imaginative, these are her paintings. Nan's paintings are truly an expression of her character, one that embraces joy and hope, one that has an optimistic view of the world, which for her remains an interesting place full of surprises.
