Location:

Versatile Artist with a growing portfolio. I started acrylic painting on an invitation from a friend during COVID. To my own surprise and delight, the paintings were good. I've continued to expanded and grow artistically since those days.

I enjoy abstract artwork that allows me to express myself though spontaneity, yet with some structure and poise. My creative process stems from what inspires me. I love adding texture, mediums, in an array of vivid colors together that add depth to each piece, with a bit of open interpretation. Pulling from a variety of influences like, beach visits in the Hampton's, Mediterranean/Middle Eastern expressions, some envisioned as abstract city scapes. Then there is also my love for Music and its various instruments. My goal with each of my paintings is to have fun...all the while storytelling through my Art!

Dance of Colors - Henry Nelson III - Artist

This Abstract painting "Dance Of Colors" invokes a sense of dynamic movement and vibrant energy. The bold and spontaneous splashes of color give the impression of a lively dance, with each hue contributing to an overall sense of harmony...despite the apparent chaos. The bright, contrasting colors suggest a celebration of life, a carnival-like atmosphere. While the white streaks could symbolize a unifying melody that ties this dance together. The visual painting is a festive representation of a high-spirited life. One full of joyous celebration... Let's get the party started shall we...

Two Living Worlds “Two Living Worlds”

This painting has a rich depth, achieved through its layered approach of mixed media and acrylic paint. I looked to create a sense of dimensionality by blending layers of colors and textures. The sunburst figures seem to emerge from the background, suggesting a separation between the two worlds here depicted. Other elements only add to the different levels, giving the viewer a sense of looking through various planes.
The overall effect is an immersive composition that invites you to explore...the unknown.

Celestial Chaos - HN3 “Celestial Chaos - HN3”

Within this Abstract painting I have aspired to portray the mystifying expanse of the universe. The blackness evokes the presence of dark matter, an unseen force shaping the cosmos. Streaks of yellow and red, suggest motion and cosmic rays, stellar formations that all mimic the distant stars scattered across the vastness of space. Intense orange sun peeks through the chaotic dance, symbolizing the powerful energy within the galaxy.The vivid blues within the background create a sense of depth, inviting viewers to explore the infinite mysteries and wonders of the universe.I tried to capture the awe, beauty, and complexity of the boundless nature of our cosmos.

Hampton's Road D - HN3

This abstract painting filled with vivid and vibrant black and white contrasts, expresses a beautiful time. It’s pallet, infused on canvas with the direct sands from the South Hampton's shoreline intermixed within the paint creating a texture that represents sand between the toes. The sun and moon show themselves it seems so quickly, as the time goes by.

Road D beach-way illustrated here, one end leads off, another leads over a slight hill to the sands of the sea and the turbulent froth of the oceans welcoming serenity. As we would bask in the warmth of the glistening sunlight, while our dog walked all around us, we would look back over the hill and see a glimpse of a house that was just the perfect spot from our water-play. A gentle sanctuary…a place that feels like home, while building sandcastles and making memories. - HN3
