Nicholas O’Leary

New Zealander artist, lives and works in Bergen, Norway

Originally from New Zealand, Nicholas has resided in Bergen since 2009. The Norwegian climate, with its constant threat of rain and long, dark winters, has deeply influenced his work. The artist creates dynamic landscape compositions with

deliberate, sharp lines. His works are filled with harmony and peace. Nicholas expresses his love for the beauty of the wild forests but also reflects on the fragility of such blissful moments in the green; the ecosystem continues to change rapidly, the sun might not come out

tomorrow and you may never find again that idyllic meadow you have painted today.
