nom kinnear - king

Another favourite artist is Nom Kinnear-King.
Saw her work from Artonfix.com, and was immediately transfixed in the imagery that Nom conjures in her paintings.

Goth like women with haunting eyes. Mysterious, strong yet fragile all at once. All her subjects are, to me, devastating beautiful but with eyes that suggest of a dark past that awaits unveiling. Makes me want to know each and every one of their stories.
My favourites by far are MaritimeGrace(Rosa), Margarita, Incognito and Cafe Rose.
The last reminds of myself; reminising...pondering...waiting...hoping but afraid.
Epitome of many, I so believe.
Really beautiful and inspiring.

Night Walker

Cafe Rose

Darina (reminds me of a certain supermodel of the moment. Non?)

Incognito

Luna Wood

Margarita

Nom Kinnear-King is a young British painter focused on female imagery, as projections of her passion for literature, travelling, folklore. Some of her works are results of special encounters; others are inspired by theatre, circus, and Balkan music, films of Jean Pierre Jeunet or famous artists like Toulouse Lautrec, Marc Chagall and Frieda Kahlo.

Nom defines her style as magic realism, as she enjoys playing with reality, showing her character’s imagination and inner world as their heart on a sleeve. These fragile characters are fascinating, hiding all sorts of secrets under a childish allure, challenging you to find their stories and ending up loving them all.

Nom Kinnear-King works with different mediums, with oils on boards and on canvas or acrylics on canvas. She studied Fine Art Print at Norwich School of Art and Design then moved to Brighton, Melbourne, then London, currently painting from her “barn attic in the Norfolk countryside”. Paintings are available from The Fine Gallery(Bath), The London Miles gallery(London), Nom being part of Just Another Agency in Melbourne, Australia.
