Nelly Marlier

I was born in Belgium and I have been living and working in Ortigia, Sicily for six years. I am an established self-taught artist who takes inspiration from great artists such as Claude Monet, Gerhard Richter, Turner, Rothko, ...

I fell in love with the clouds when I was still a child and this love is always present.
I draw most of my inspiration from nature and my pictures are the result of the match between light, colors and forms and my emotions.

I paint on canvas, mainly in oil. I have been captivated by the softness of this medium, the beauty of the volutes created when the pigments mingle. It consists in an overlapping of colors, layer after layer. In this case, my brushstroke is often curvy.

The last six years have been fruitful from a professional point of view, with numerous solo and group exhibitions, as well as participations in national and international competitions.

Several of my paintings are now part of private collections in France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, USA, Emirates, …

I am self-taught
