Louise N

Louise is a Singapore-based oil painter whose practice is rooted in observation, stillness, and the quiet resonance of everyday experience. Working primarily in oils, she explores landscapes, urban fragments, still life, and moments of light that unfold in front of her — each piece acting as a pause, a reflection on presence and place.

At the heart of her art is a deep commitment to the materiality of oil paint — its texture, its layering, and its capacity to hold light and nuance. She approaches each canvas as a conversation between intention and surprise, letting each brushstroke reveal what the work needs next.

After graduating from Nanyang Technological University with a Bachelor of Communication Studies, my passion for art drew me to explore oil painting where I studied under the guidance of practicing artists at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
