Nick Lord is a painter who works in Cardiff.
He paints mainly portraits. Nick Lord works in a relatively short time, without having any specific goal: he lets the paintings express by themselves. The colors are almost transparent while the lines remain apparent and give his paintings a poetic nostalgia.
The human being plays a main role in his work, fragile and at the same time infallible. The looks are intense. The facial features and the gestures speak for themselves, and show all the range of emotions the human race can feel.
