Nicky Rensen
Nicky Rensen is an artist based in Auckland, Whangaparoa. Previously exhibited in Estuary Arts in Orewa. Entirely self-taught, Nicky draws frequently from personal photography, transforming real-life impressions into paintings that pulse with movement and mood.
Specialising in oil painting, Nicky employs expressive brush strokes and bold colour to portray the vibrant spirit of New Zealand seascapes and the dramatic contours of mountain landscapes.
With a background of Art History study, Nicky’s creativity is fuelled by an admiration of John Constable and J.M.W. Turner, particularly their fascination with cloud formations.
