Nicola Mellor

I am a UK-based abstract painter working with colour, movement, and texture to explore quiet emotional shifts and moments of connection.

My paintings begin with feeling rather than plan. I let each work unfold slowly, following where it leads and allowing form, rhythm, and light to emerge over time.

The work sits between abstraction and recognition. It is not about describing something clearly, but about creating a space where a feeling can exist — somewhere to pause, reflect, and find personal meaning.

Painting is how I make sense of experience and stay close to what matters. Each piece becomes part of an ongoing process of noticing, holding, and quietly transforming emotion into colour and form.

Every painting is simply a continuation of that journey.
