Nell Symonds

Nell Symonds creates serene oil paintings that celebrate stillness and reflection through the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and negative space. Focusing on nature, florals, and still life, she blends realism with expressive brushwork to capture both form and feeling. Her distinctive Prussian blue backgrounds add depth and emotion to each piece. With a meticulous process rooted in conte drawings and layered tones, Symonds’ work radiates quiet strength; her piece Chiara was selected for the 2024 Sydney Affordable Art Fair campaign.
