ARTIST’S STATEMENT

"With every painting I seek to translate my feelings in order to lend energy and life to my imaginary subject matter. The main purpose of my art is to evoke an emotion in the viewer; to trigger imagination and encourage reflection. I believe that while I am the one who 'brings forth' a painting, it is ultimately the viewer who is able to give it its unique life."

PROFILE

Art has always played a large role in Nadine Baurin's life. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, the San Diego-based artist spent her childhood learning to draw and soon developed a passion for art. After receiving her first art nomination at the age of 10, Nadine decided her goal in life would be to become a professional artist.

Nadine passed the Cambridge 'O' Levels Art with Distinction in 1991, and subsequently enrolled in painting classes at the San Isidro Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Later, she relocated to the U.S. where she continued to paint and develop her talent in fine art.

Nadine is greatly influenced by her journeys throughout the U.S., Latin America and Europe. She holds a B.A in Studio Art from Illinois' Principia College and has studied painting with various nationally and internationally recognized artists including David Coughtry, Glenn Felch, France-Marie Haeger, and most recently with fellow Argentine artist, Eduardo Cervera. Nadine Baurin's paintings are on display in private collections in the U.S and Argentina.
