Nicole Rose Stand: 900

My work is all about emotion and the places I’ve been – I bring these moments to life through my signature use of blended and blurred colour. I mainly paint abstracts, using the landscapes around me as a starting point. With layers of oil paint and sweeping brushstrokes, my pieces often take on a dreamlike, almost ethereal quality – they sit somewhere between reality and imagination.
Alongside my paintings, I also create limited-edition prints. These usually start as photographs of a finished painting, which I then rework in Photoshop – rebalancing the composition, playing with tone and contrast – to create something new. Each print is both a nod to the original and a fresh take on the same inspiration, offering a different perspective on the same moment.
I was born in 1970 and graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1992 with a BA in Graphic Design. I had a successful career as a Creative Director running my own design consultancy before moving into painting full-time. Now, I work from my studio in London. My graphic design background definitely influences how I paint – I still think a lot about composition, colour, balance, and visual storytelling.
I regularly show my work at art fairs and gallery exhibitions in the UK and US. I’m a member of ArtCan and People of Print, and I’m represented by several independent galleries across the UK and the US. My paintings and prints are held in private and corporate collections worldwide, and I recently completed two bespoke commissions for luxury hotels in Central London.
