About the Artist,
and the Art....
Riki R. Nelson paints only
jazz musicians and singers she has
personally encountered.
She works exclusively from
her own sketches, photos, "mental pictures"
and inspiration. The Artist's goal is as much to paint the spirit of the
performance and the performer, as a true likeness. She paints both
emerging and legendary jazz artists.
R. R. Nelson works exclusively in
oil, taking as long as two months to
complete a single piece. She uses traditional realism, complimented by
contemporary colors and compositions, and her own creative vision,
to develop unique and moving portraits of contemporary life.
It is Nelson's belief, that
for a portrait to be a true work of
art, it must come from the artist's sensitivity to the subject. She feels
that seeing and studying a performer in person, allows her to in some
way touch their, "essence" which she can then translate into the "soul"
of a painting. This is why she goes to such great lengths to get her
own sketches and photos, and why she works exclusively from her
own encounters with the musicians and singers she uses as
subjects for her paintings.
