Nell Symonds’ oil paintings invite viewers to find calm in stillness, using negative space and shadow to evoke contemplation. Her work explores nature, florals, and still life, capturing a true likeness while embracing expressive brush marks. Known for her signature Prussian blue backgrounds, she draws each subject in conte crayon, tones the canvas for depth, and paints backgrounds last for dimension. Her artwork Chiara was chosen as the campaign piece for the 2024 Sydney Affordable Art Fair.
