Do you know what I like to do? Communicating ideas and emotions while I get my hands dirty.

Creativity underlines (the) (your) life, and it will be deepened. It’s a game that I want to share with you.
I’m Angeles Nieto, artist / illustrator and art historian. I was born in Madrid, Spain and lived there until I was 23 years old. Already more than half my life in the Netherlands. Long time I have lived in cities (Madrid and Amsterdam) now on the country. I think contrasts make you richer, I’m not there or here, I’m from the two places. I love the culture, art and man. They are for me as structures in nature, the lungs of the world.

About my work:
One of the first things that you see in my creations is the variety of materials and techniques. My work is acrylic on canvas, collages, bronze, wood engraving, screen printing, drawings in pencil and digital work. All these images have something in common: the vividness of the colors and shapes. My subjects are always people or animals, dreams referring to land, water and air. A style that I express with intense, hard and high contrast in colors. My Spanish roots have always influenced my work. The art comes from the head through the eye to the hand. With my work I give pieces of myself. I Work as if it’s a game, a conversation between what we think and what still needs to be created, always seeking balance. “We are stardust”. This is the basic idea of ​​my work. Our body is made of the same material as the heavenly bodies, they contain minerals, gas, we bones, skin. And we have feelings, emotions, like the stars give light to support life. In my work is the universe as the world of dreams, the flight as an expression of freedom, in my work, I think, the sun appears daily.
