Capturing Life's Vibrancy on canvas

My friend and colleague painter Paola Minekov translates the emotions and energy of life into captivating artworks.

Her signature style blends abstraction with figuration, drawing inspiration from early modernist traditions. Bold colours and expressive brushstrokes create lyrical, yet dynamic scenes, offering a fresh perspective on contemporary themes her collectors find it easy to relate to.

Paola's diverse portfolio encompasses captivating series like the vibrant "Dancers" and "Circus," the introspective "Undercurrents" exploring human connection, and captivating bright and bold cityscapes.

Paola also paints digital portraits on commission and I've personally commissioned a number of portraits from her as gifts for my friends and family.

At NGA we work closely with Paola on a number of projects and we can help you can invest in a piece of stunning timeless art that speaks to you.
