Fanny Nushka

Nushka was born in Lille, France, in 1983.

For the past 20 years, Nushka has explored the enduring presence of art history within figurative painting. Her work is driven by an ongoing search for the elusive boundary between figuration and abstraction. Her primary subject is the representation of women, both throughout art history and in contemporary society.

After living in Sydney, Paris, and New York, Nushka now lives and works in Marseille, France.

At the age of 13, Nushka became a student of the American painter Maggie Siner, marking the beginning of a profound teacher–student relationship that would prove instrumental in shaping her artistic journey. After nine years of higher education, a period she refers to as “her humanities,” she returned to painting and devoted herself to it entirely.

As a figurative painter, my inspiration comes from aesthetics, beauty, and women. I predominantly explore the female body in all its forms: faces, busts, and fragments. Narrative takes a backseat in my work, as I focus on abstract structures, diagonals, and verticals. Perspective lines serve as the backbone of my models.

I play with contrasts—sensitive, sensual, timeless topics with vivid, dynamic, and contemporary brushstrokes
