ITALIAN ALLEY (2019) Painting by Mitch Nye

My work primarily involves acrylic paint on stretched canvas and watercolor with ink on watercolor paper. On canvas, I am drawn to abstract forms that allow color to take center stage, while my paper works tend to be more conventional in nature. Color plays a vital role in capturing attention and conveying emotion throughout my pieces.
The subject matter emerges organically, often inspired by whatever images or ideas spontaneously surface in my mind, unless I am commissioned to focus on a specific theme. Sometimes a photograph will capture my interest and spark the creative process, and other times a simple sketch will evolve naturally into a finished piece.
My inspiration stems from multiple sources: other artists, unique color combinations, and sometimes a striking scene or photo that resonates with me. This diversity of influence keeps my work fresh and unpredictable.
My process generally begins with a sketch that helps me determine whether watercolor or acrylics will best serve the idea. This choice guides me further in selecting the appropriate surface, whether paper or canvas. While my techniques may not be groundbreaking, what sets my art apart is the originality of my imagination and how it shapes each creation into something uniquely mine.
