"... all of that classical imagery of South France is very alive as an experience inside of me. Maybe it is what led me to the use of fluorescent colors in my paintings."
Though Nielly now lives in Paris, she says it is the memories of childhood in South France, living along the Mediterranean, that are largely what lead to her style; the fluorescent colors could represent the loss of clarity or emotion with the memories. She also credits her work to her love of urban life. She does a great job maintaining such great detail but with the use of loose strokes and aggressive contrasts. Her work is greatly inspiring and urges me to try something similar.
