Nadia Tan

I am a full-time professional artist from Singapore, and my practice explores the emotional force of colour, human movement, and tactile paint. I use the figure as a starting point rather than a fixed subject, simplifying gestures and moments of connection into rhythmic shapes, saturated colour fields, and layered impasto. My work is energetic, but the intensity is always controlled through spacing, proportion, and compositional balance. I am committed to creating original paintings that bring warmth and personality to contemporary spaces. For me, expressive art still demands craftsmanship, discipline, technical consistency, and long-term development.

The current Avoryne selection focuses on close figurative studies and portraits shaped by layered paint, with sculpted colour-band portraits kept as a distinct series. Related works are grouped by palette, subject elements and surface texture; format and composition may vary within a series.
