Natalie Nicola · Toronto
She paints everything.
Acrylic on canvas. Portraits, pop icons, saints, satire. Sometimes a basketball player; sometimes a Ferrari; once, memorably, twenty-three cows.
In her words
I paint portraits, icons, and the occasional cow. Classical composition, loud colour, and subjects that don't usually share a wall.
Every piece starts with the face. The face is the longest part.
“We talk about the subject, the feeling, the room it will live in. I send a single pencil study. You say yes, or we adjust.”
