About Suki Nabarro
Suki Nabarro is a contemporary artist and painter based in Portsmouth, south of England. At 28 she is already fast becoming recognised as one of the souths most sought after artists, producing work for clients as far field as Australia and Mauritius.
Working from her specially built studio at home she creates unique paintings on canvas that are growing ever more popular, non more so then her interpretation of the landmark building Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth. Alongside the Spinnaker Tower paintings her folio is vast with various subjects, each bearing that recognisable 'Nabarro' style which customers find so appealing.
Suki also has a passion for producing collage work,
''It was during my Fine Art degree at Portsmouth University that I developed an obsession with image collecting. Since a very young age I was fascinated with the inage of women in mass mediated forms, especially in high fashion magazines such as 'Vogue'. Constantly tearing pages from magazines I would then manipulate into collage form, creating a new and exciting take on the fantasy world of beauty and the sublime female form".
Suki's collage work often translates into her paintings today. Suki is soon going to be returning to her roots, and creating a new series of work including collages, that will be available to buy framed.
Taking inspiration from the world around her Suki captures the essence of the environment that surrounds us in everyday life, using vibrant colours and textures. Working from photographs she has taken or found she translates these onto canvas in acrylic paint using various techniques, creating stunning paintings reflective of the world in which we live.
"I study form before subject, inspired by the ever-changing colours and movement of natures backdrop, and its relationship with the structural shapes created by man"
Suki's artworks vary in price, starting from £90.00 and differ depending on size. Canvas size ranging from 30x60cm to 100x100cm, but for commissioned pieces she is able to produce any size the client wishes for. On request Suki can also visit the client in person to discuss the commission requirements, and look at the colours of the space in which the painting will be hung, and take measurments for the canvas size. This is a big help to many people who don't have the time to look for artworks, or have no idea as to what style of painting would compliment their interior. However if a prespective client doesn't live locally, images and measurments of the space can be sent or emailed to Suki personally.
Every piece of Suki's work is hand-painted onto a box canvas with deep edges (4.4cm), she also paints the edges to give them a tidy finish. All artworks come wrapped in bubblewrap and ready to hang, making life that little bit easier for her customers!
Suki's modern landscapes have proven a hit with a wide and varied audience. Her work hangs in numerous corporate headquarters, galleries, restaurants and hotels. Suki also exhibits at a once monthly exhibition at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth.
"I've been very lucky with my work, if I'm not creating artwork for an upcoming exhibition I'm working on private commissions, alot of the time its both! People contact me and ask if I can paint from a special photograph or recreate one of my paintings in different colours? I am able to do that to a certain degree but due to my style of painting it will always be slightly different, otherwise my paintings will no longer be originals. That is of fundamental importance to my status as an artist and my integrity"
