Artist's biography
Nena was born in Athens, Greece in 1974. She earned a Master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Hull in the UK, and has a successful career in a family business, but her love for art prevails.
A self-taught artist, she often says: painting "fills me with joy"!
Nena is a colorist who celebrates the subtle, natural beauty in a way that is both intense and dynamic. She paints in acrylic and does collages in contemporary mixed media. Nena has a diverse portfolio from nature to abstracts.
Having travelled periodically to Asia, the Middle East and Europe, Nena’s philosophy has been influenced from minimal art and symbolism. Her symbolism incorporates an inspiration of divine art, something that reflects her own inner metaphysical world, where there is more to the canvas than meets the eye. Her influence from nature facilitated her to express the complexity of simplicity, attributing a simple subject through a complicated theme that leads to a minimal work of art. Nena’s talent is unfolded through intense brush strokes that testify depth in the human thought. It is expressed by the concept of ‘flowing reality’, physical harmony, and the notion of shapes. She believes that behind a piece consisting of lines, shapes or position, is an artwork that always serves a poetic intention. Color takes power and her technique presents calmness and balance in the scenery.
Nena's influence from the modern masters Bram Bogart and Pavlos have served as a source of inspiration. Pursuing her passion in the creative world is a constant process of discovery and while she is still exploring her unique style, Nena attempts to share the revealing journey of expression via this first solo exhibition.

Artist's statement
"I relish in creating works in mixed media because it reflects how diverse I lead my life. From paintings using acrylics, to creating collages that encompass several elements of different origins, different meanings and different compositions. When I create, and when it all clicks into place, it feels like the rest of the world dissolves away leaving the only thing in front of me: the artwork that I'm communicating through. The art is my voice and expression of what I am thinking or feeling. My work usually becomes a physical manifestation of what is happening in my life at that precise moment. It's the emotion, the conscious and unconscious collaboration of dreams, visions and the spirituality of where I am in my life at that moment. Sometimes it becomes a beautiful surprise or an unexpected discovery."
