Nadine Collado

In the CV of life we have many chapters. My third chapter is a real departure from the senior echelons of corporate life and higher education - it’s this one - where  time stands still and the mind is flourishing as the paint hits the canvas.  

Unless it’s a commission, I never know what I am going to paint which allows for my favourite type of art -  Abstracts.  These are a total joy for me. And colour, I absolutely love colour. 

l love to paint for a myriad of reasons:  

The freedom it gives - there is no structure. 

The painting takes its own journey - it’s an act of pure spontaneity. 

The layering, textures and tonality allow for the viewer to see a different form - I have a piece where different people see a ballerina or rastafarian, or a waterfall, or horse trying to catch a fish – I mean it couldn’t be more diverse. 

The challenging point is simply knowing when to stop applying paint. 

Every piece has its own story and the viewer determines what it is. I hope you enjoy what you see.
