Nikki Silk… Australian Modern Pointillism Artist
Nikki Silk is a Australian Modern Pointillism Artist, best known for creating Striking & Unique Acrylic Paintings using Pre-Loved Canvases and Frames. Over the years, Nikki has derived her signature style from an adaptation of a technique called "Pointillism", which emerged in France (her cultural background) in the 1880s. This technique was created by French Artist Georges Seurat, and is best described as using small, distinct dots of colour, applied in patterns to create an image. Nikki is an Intuitive Artist, and creates her Artworks spontaneously and without any specific look or colour palette in mind. Her inspiration for her Artworks and colour palettes comes from her regular Travels to the most beautiful parts of Australia, as well as her adoration of Sunrises and Sunsets, and from amazing natural Textures that she finds in Nature. Nikki is fast becoming known for creating her beautiful and unique Custom Artwork Commissions, and she is available to take a limited amount of Custom Artwork Orders each year.
Reduce, Reuse & Recycle – Frames, Canvases & Paints…
Nikki has always valued the 3Rs… Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, and she tries to incorporate these sustainability values as much as possible, not only into her personal life, but also into her Artworks and business practices.
All Canvases and Frames that she uses to create her artworks are all sourced from 2nd Hand Markets, Marketplace, Op Shops and Tip Shops. She is also very lucky to be gifted unwanted and pre-loved frames & canvases from Neighbours, Family, Friends and members of her local community.
For paints – Nikki always tries to source a wonderful collection of colours from 2nd Hand/Carboot Markets, Marketplace and also from the “whoops, I chose the wrong colour” paint pots in the clearance section at her local hardware stores.
She absolutely LOVES that she has the opportunity to reuse items and give life back to a variety of different canvases and frames that may have ended up unnecessarily in landfill. In most cases where items are sourced from her local Op Shops, she’s also able to support some amazing local charities.
