Ebony and Ivory - HUGE PAINTING by Belinda Nadwie

Artwork Description

Let me introduce myself. I'm Belinda Nadwie

When I'm not covered in paint, I'm busy being a mother to my three children, Summer, (6), Alice (4) and George (2). With my doting husband our lives are a ball of FUN (and mess)!
But how great is L A U G H T E R ? Truly the best medicine, especially when it involves tickly bits!

I drink multiple cups of tea a day,
I also love C O F F E E, although I restrict myself to ONE a day ☹ (okay sometimes I sneak two)
My family is amazingly supportive and always here at a moments notice.

WHAT BRINGS ME HERE, YOU ASK?

MY A R T ☺

I am taking myself seriously as strangely, I seem to have more time to do so these days.

Ever since I was little (5 years old) I have sold my paintings. It began on Sorrento Beach on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula where I grew up. I used to paint scenes on shells and walk up and down the beach selling them to unsuspecting tourists.
As an adult, I have now sold hundreds of original paintings globally by commissioning pieces for collectors or working with Interior Designers, via word of mouth from happy customers and also via the internet.

Currently United Interiors and THE BLOCK SHOP are showcasing a Limited Edition print series of some select works. Here is a link to their website where you will spot some of my paintings https://www.united-interiors.com.au https://www.theblockshop.com.au

If you keep watch, there will be many more paintings to come as this is what I do on a daily basis, whilst raising my darling family.

Belinda Nadwie creates abstracted landscapes that traverse emotional, psychological and spiritual experience. Working with oil paint, charcoal, spray paint and oil crayons, she captures a spectrum of moods – from quiet, melancholy moments of indigo and teal to rapturous swathes of Persian pink and saffron. The viewer can choose where they sit in this vast spectrum of emotion; whether they gravitate towards the darkness or the light. The artist paints intuitively without preconception, each work reading like a painterly stream of consciousness that allows the viewer fleeting glimpses into her inner world. Her paintings are reflections of where she is at any one time, with the day, the mood and the inspiration spontaneously coming together in a colourful union. ‘Colour and balance are my passion’ says Nadwie, ‘My expressions are all feeling–based.’ Although the works are non-representational, there are moments in which physical landscapes flicker across the canvas, reminding us of the enduring force of nature.There is a maternal, nurturing modality to the works as Nadwie draws from her experiences of motherhood. Pastels and whites represent innocence, joy and love while also channelling a sense of spirituality, the prominent use of light like transcendental beacons from another world. For Nadwie, her paintings express the subjectivity of positivity, symbolising the power of the mind in choosing a positive outlook despite challenging circumstances. Energetic, abstracted applications of paint infuse the work with an enduring optimism, as the artist reflects ‘it’s about being at peace with oneself, being present in the moment and embracing light and positivity.’ By presenting the purity of self–expression, Nadwie’s paintings ultimately offer a raw and natural respite from our fast–paced technological lives. I hope my work brings you as much happiness as it does me. Made with love XExhibitions - Gold Coast Art Centre – Gold Coast 1990. Gold Coast Art Centre – Group Exhibition - Gold Coast 1992.
