"I try to make a blank canvas as beautiful as I possibly can, which is not easy as there are few things as beautiful as a blank canvas."
BIOGRAPHY
Nicolas Makelberge is a Swedish artist renowned for his large-scale evocative artworks, reminiscent to the forces at play in the sky and the sea - his constant sources of inspiration.
The trajectory of Nicolas' artistic path was shaped by painting and attending art school at an early age in Sweden as well as earning higher degrees in Design from the US, Sweden and Portugal. Incorporating the impulsive nature of all creative endeavours into his painting style and technique, Nicolas' works are dedicated to incite an emotion, through expressive action and abstract notes, just like that of music, his other great passion.
The distinctiveness of his approach has earned him recognition and accolades, with his art being featured in prestigious publications including ELLE Decor Magazine, Forbes and Harpers Bazaar, his works included in private and public collections across the United States and Europe.
Currently residing between southern Sweden and Prague with his wife Nina, who runs their studio and gallery, son Theo and Louis the Frenchie.
