Nel ten Wolde – Biography Originating from the Netherlands, Nel Ten Wolde emigrated to Australia in 1985. Since this move, Nel has enjoyed the possibilities of travelling internationally, particularly throughout Europe, seeking inspiration from different countries & cultures. She has been invited multiple times to take part as an artist in residence, working alongside and collaborating with other artists. Whilst in Melbourne, her work is focused on abstract landscape oil paintings in varied sizes. The greatest source of inspiration for her work, has always been nature, evoking emotions of freedom, beauty & wonder. Her extensive travels throughout Australia have had a significant influence on her life and work, in turn, reflected in her Art. The countries’ vast differences in landscapes, open space, colours and outstretched desert plains, supply her with endless inspiration. Lately she walked through Europe, she interprets the observations in uniquely dynamic juxtaposition of images that sweep the viewer into and through her landscapes. In her latest collages of photo, mixed medium on Bord paper the colours are standing out. Her art works on iPad are a combination of photos and drawing, printed on Dibond.
