About Nelson

Long before I understood what creativity meant, I was naturally drawn to making things with my hands, sketching, painting and finding ways to express what I could see inside my head.

Painting became something deeper than a hobby, it became an escape. A quiet space I could turn off my mind, the noise, pressure, distractions and be fully present in that single moment. My work is rooted in presence, emotion and capturing the essence of an image.That’s why each piece is a reflection of a feeling, a memory I wanted to preserve before it passed.

Being a fashion model has shaped my creativity merging art with fashion items and turning them into something personal and expressive. The idea is what “NelsxN” represents, with an X that symbolises merging these different parts of me.
