Nymira Gray

Nymira Gray is a portrait and figure artist, currently living and working in the United States. Her dramatic, expressive portraits are done in heavy body acrylics, working with palette knives and brushes, using many quick textured layers. All her paintings are created using only the three primary colors in addition to black and white. Every other color is mixed on the palette from those basic colors.
"Although I paint primarily portraits, I do not consider myself to be a portrait artist. While traditionally a portrait artist would strive to capture the likeness and essence of the sitter, I am instead painting psychological concepts; traits that I admire, have within myself, or wish to cultivate. My works are not renderings of people, but rather character traits, and emotional substrates." Gray explains.
Her work hangs in numerous private collections throughout the world.
