I’m Nina, an abstract impressionistic painter based in Central Florida. My work is a influenced heavily by the colors, energies, textures and emotions in my life. I paint in a colorful, abstract style. I’m not as concerned with capturing the subject matter exactly as you see it, but instead, I focus on capturing feeling and meaning. Painting brings me peace, joy, freedom and, for me, it is an opportunity to celebrate beauty in the world around us. My deepest wish is to be able to convey those feelings to to you, offering a moment of happiness, a feeling of belonging and a sense of self. I owe my love of composing colorful art to my vibrant Spanish family and upbringing. Growing up, I was surrounded by vibrant artwork, richly textured serape blankets, and painted terracotta pottery from Mexico. I carry those memories with me, and combine them with the inspiration that surrounds me in my daily life, in my travels and in my own imagination. Currently, I paint in my home studio where I live with my handsome husband and my adorable dog, Dash. I am enjoying living in the south where people are truly gracious and friendly, the weather is warm, and natural inspiration is everywhere!
