My name is Oscar Sancho Nin, but I am known as Oscar Nin. I was born into a humble family in Spain. Ever since I was a child, I had a passion for drawing that eventually turned into a love for painting. In the 2010s, I began promoting my work, and it was met with great success. Saatchi Art, formerly known as Saatchi Online, sold a large number of my artworks starting in 2013. In 2014, I sold over 80 original artworks through galleries and independently.
Over the years, my painting style has evolved, but I remain fundamentally the same artist. I enjoy experimenting with two distinct aspects in my work: colorful and dark pieces. However, I also find pleasure in merging both elements within a single composition, creating intriguing and thought-provoking contrasts. This duality reflects my fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, and how they can convey deep emotions and meanings.
One of my greatest interests as an artist lies in human psychology. I am captivated by exploring the complexities of the human mind and spirit through my paintings. I immerse myself in the depths of the human experience, seeking to authentically and sensitively depict it. Often, this involves reinterpreting classics with an introspective approach, adding layers of light and shadow that accentuate the emotional nuances of the artwork.
Painting is my greatest motivation as long as it presents challenges. I lose myself in my work with a playful childlike spirit, constantly seeking new forms of expression and pushing my creative boundaries. My goal is to evoke a sense of life and mystery in each brushstroke, creating an emotional connection with the viewer.
