Nicolette Wales, Artist
  • I am available for a limited number of commissions each year.

    Commissioning an original painting is a creative and collaborative process.

    If you would like me to create something unique for your space, please reach out. We can collaborate on a creative brief that defines the essence and specs. I can then immerse myself in this vision while keeping to the parameters and specifics of the creative brief.

    Once the quote is approved, a 50% deposit secures the commission.

  • A fine art limited edition print is a high resolution scanned reproduction of an original artwork, signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

    I offer museum quality prints using archival inks on 100% cotton museum quality, archival paper.

    If you’d like me to create an artwork, for you please email me at studio@nicolettewales.com

HARMONIC PARADOX

“Harmonious Paradox” is a visual exploration of the profound and whimsical intricacies of the human experience, delving into the enigmatic nature of humanity, the interplay of contrasting forces, and the perpetual quest for understanding and self-discovery. It invites viewers to navigate the labyrinth of existence through a dynamic fusion of abstract and figurative elements that celebrate the emotional and intellectual power of life.

Making an artwork is a unique kind of visual poetry. It’s in the process of playful experimentation that I find my most authentic marks.

Where are these edges of reality, what is a human being and where does this life experience begin and end…and to what purpose?
