Nelson, Sculptor and Painter: I am fascinated by the transcendental qualities associated with figurative painting derived from the study of the Old Masters. It’s always hard to describe the kind of work I do, it's generated in classical painting techniques and this is delivered and defined in my work, I don't see myself as either classic or modern, it’s a blend of both! People always ask me why such a subject matter as the human body? To me this is like the ultimate subject matter, it’s so figurative and it’s the most direct message about who we are that you can possibly address and this is the subject I love to do that I will come back to over and over again.
