Nabis
The Nabis movement is a group of artists I relate to in my art practice. I find several similarities between their artistic practice and my own:
• Vivid Expressive Colors: Nabis and I utilize vibrant colors to evoke emotions and create a sense of depth within our compositions.
• Subject Matter: Works often explore themes that delve into the human experience, drawing from personal narratives and broader cultural contexts.
• Emotional and Spiritual Content: Both the Nabis and I focus on exploring inner experiences, emphasizing emotional and spiritual resonance in our art.
• Form and Composition: We employ flattened forms and decorative elements, creating distinctive visual language that prioritizes aesthetic appeal.
• Cultural Influences: Like the Nabis, I draw inspiration from various movements and cultures, including Japanese art and printmaking, which inform my artistic choices.
• Artistic Intent: The intent behind my work aligns closely with that of Nabis; both aim to convey messages and feelings that invoke emotion and introspection in the viewer.
