What a magical world we live in... It inspires me to create uplifting, vibrant and energetic reflections of a wonder-filled world. Colour, Nature & Energy everywhere. My artworks balance between Light+Dark, Motion+Stillness. “Beauty is everywhere & sometimes we can forget.” ~Nevena
My creations hang in many private collections in most states in Australia, in Europe, and America. For over 2 years, I connected by having my art display at our local popular Art Market. As I developed & grew the product range, I transitioned to an online shop. This allowed my private Nowlove Art Studio Gallery in the Blue Mountains, Sydney to open its doors and my creativity. The Sunshine Coast, QLD, is now my new home & where I am exploring new influences of the Ocean. My paintings can be found often in local Exhibitions and Galleries.
I am a self taught artist, creating various forms of art since I was little. Moving to Australia at the age of 8, art was a form of connecting while I leant to speak English. I still find art is a common ground that helps to connect ALL people.
My passion for painting was discovered in 2011 as a healing process. Sharing my Hope & Love for all good things helped to heal me. And I found it healed other people too. People related to my stories, as we laughed & cried together, remembered, rejoiced and felt connection and Love. Pure Joy bloomed out of sadness! It overflows through the art, into everyday lives.
I love to create art that takes you to a happier place, and my artworks are seen as daily reminders on your walls. The energetic works subconsciously ground you or elevate you, relax you or stimulate you. Depending on which one you choose, they all have a different energy.
“Art with feeling, that lets you feel... Art with soul... With depth... With a Spirit of its own.” ~are comments I've received from collectors. My love of finding & collecting has my studio full of little collections found in nature & in everyday life. Most paintings are embellished with something collected, recycled, repurposed or saved. These born again treasures are reminders of how much we can oversee the beauty in simple objects around us daily.
