Collection: Nathan Paddison

"I have found my way and reborn myself through paint. I paint my experiences looking through the eyes of someone I’ve become but still using the experiences of my troubled past using colors and gestures to represent emotions also words play a big part of my journey. They are also a form of abstraction in the way I use them but definitely have meanings beyond the way they are read. I like to use acrylic, charcoal, vmarker, ink, pastel and collage as I work fast and with a lot of energy sometimes aggressively sometimes playfully although each work takes a few attempts as its a built up of layers that take a journey to tell their own story and build their own personality although the end result shows barely any of the journey it gives the painting its soul.

I have a strong belief in art and not just painting so I express whatever myself or the canvas asks of me, everything is part of the story and my journey. The places I’ve been and story I have to tell is unmatched and I’m making my art from places I’ve been and seen. I paint day and night religiously."
