🇬🇧 Sunsets

In the last few days I painted two artworks with the sunset as the central element. This text is about them and what inspired me to paint them.

I am Nycka Nunes, a visual artist and in this blog I talk about my work, themes that inspire me and my lifestyle (traveling to photograph, for example). You can buy this and other artworks of mine on the “Buy art here” page of this blog.

A sunset represents the end. It is the end of a day. And it also represents a beginning, because it is the beginning of the night. In the last few days I was extremely sad. After painting “Sunset 96” I found the answers I needed to partially overcome the sadness. I had already started painting “Sunset 2” when I got these answers.

Art is a way of getting out what is stuck inside me, without having to explain so much what I feel, because it is no one else’s business. Anyone who wants to help me overcome my sadness should ask me how they can help me, without judgment, without giving unsolicited opinions. My style tends towards abstract art when I paint, but I don't limit myself to it. I use the resources that seem most appropriate to express through art what is inside me, what I feel and my points of view regarding the world. And I try to transform "negative" feelings like sadness into something that brings inspiration for change, as I did when I painted these two works. I hope you like them and buy yours.
