The Painter

  
Nanne paints in oil, in a style inspired by both the Renaissance and the
Dutch masters. By painting layer on layer it gives her paintings a luminous effect.

Nanne has studied at Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy, and
spent several years painting in the studio of Odd Nerdrum in Norway.
She is skilled, and quality, which in our time is an almost forgotten word,
is  important to her.

Great Painting is compresed of several elements, says Nyander. There is a technical aspect
which one learns from a teacher or in the Academy, but just as important is the
painters ability to "see"... to have the patience to detect the subtle nuances of light
that give form to the world. Then there is the painters vision... what one wants to say with
the voice one has. In Art this "Artistic vision" is the most important aspect of the work.
For Nanne Nyander it is an important element that must be combined, must work in
concert with talent and technical expertise to create a truly great painting.
Therefore she prefers to be called a Painter or Paintress, rather then "Artist "
as it is clear that what we know as Modern Art and Classical Painting are
not the same thing.

Nanne Nyander has cultivated her natural talent through her studies in Florence and in Norway
and by traveling extensively throughout Europe to study, and to learn first hand
from the great masterwork that are the heritage of todays Painters. For a painting must
be seen to be truly appreciated; to fuly grasp the power and beauty of light that can be obtained
through the craft of oil painting.

The exhibition "New Hope" a culmination of her talent,
many, many months in front of the easle, and her vision is just the beginning
of a long series of Angel-Paintings to come.
These paintings are about the Hope that we as individuals, and we as human beings must have
in order that we may create for ourselves a better world.
They are about finding Inner Peace and nourishing it ; about finding the light in the darkness.
They are about seeng the beauty in the world as Blessings and using the Blessings
we are given to expand our health, happiness and wellbeing, both inwards and outwards.
These paintings are here to guide us, to remind us of the peace and
dignity we deserve.


Nanne Nyander is represented in collections in Europe as well as in the United States.


One can paint something like there is no hope for mankind, or we can
paint something that will mesmerize us for eternity.

 " Time might change but the beauty in a well done oil painting is timeless."


Art is for the mind. Paintings are for the soul.
