La séparation (2024) Painting by Nicolas Wallyn

Nicolas Wallyn, a contemporary French painter with over 30 years of artistic practice, has devoted his creative journey to capturing and narrating moments of life. For him, each gesture is a story, and every movement stems from a lived, perceived, or heard experience.

In his extensive career as a painting artist, Nicolas focuses on translating the emotions embedded in these moments. His artworks serve as snapshots charged with life, energy, and feelings, each telling a unique tale. Particularly notable are his silhouette series, both in painting and photography, where he seeks to transcribe moments of exchange, tension, and dialogue. The goal is to bring forth a singular moment from memory and share it with a broader audience.

In his series of abstract paintings, Nicolas continues the endeavor of transcribing emotion, employing coded expressions through lines of force. Similar to graphology, these lines convey capacities, personalities, and intensities, offering viewers a nuanced glimpse into the underlying emotions.

A recent venture involved compiling significant works from artists who inspire him, such as de Staël, Soulages, and Mitchell. Nicolas explored the determination of 'ideal' construction proportions on various table formats, influencing some of his own works.

In all his creations, Nicolas Wallyn delivers fragments of life - moments revealed and sublimated. His art serves as a visual narrative, inviting viewers to share in the emotional tapestry woven through his paintings, each canvas a testament to the rich experiences and sentiments encapsulated within.
