Vignettes of Provence: Exhibit of New Paintings by N I Y A
In March 2008, on a painting commission Niya stayed in a small traditional French Village, Carces, just north of Marseille. She discovered a place completely unto itself—so un-enchanted by the ‘new’. She has created a new a new series of paintings in scenes: People, Pizza, Pink Haired Women, Century Old Vines, Dogs, Food, Vino and so on. The stories accompany the paintings expressed in graphical themes.
Here is her statement:
“Whether I was sitting in the middle of a dirt road while the wild boars had their midnight snack in front of my car or woken by the soft, warm winds of North Africa in the morning looking out over the village rooftops, one thing was certain, Provence clearly held in its daily life, a force of imagination that flattened any goals or ambitions I had coming into it.”

Oh it is my pleasure. You seem like a motivated artist who has a real passion for what you do. If you ever have interest I would be more than happy to do an artist profile on you, I love to write and especially to analyze paintings and discuss the imagery. If you know any other artists that ever want a small piece written about them I would be more than happy. I just really want a link back to my blog to get the word out there in return. Have a wonderful day!
