Nes is a visual artist working primarily with painting, but her practice often moves beyond the canvas. She integrates text, sculpture, and installation to explore the emotional and psychological landscapes of human experience. Her work is rooted in intuition and experimentation, with visible influences from the Cobra movement, known for its spontaneous and expressive approach to art.

Language plays a central role in her process. Phrases and poetic lines appear directly on the surface of her paintings, serving as both material and conceptual guides. For Nes, painting is not just visual — it's also linguistic, physical, and spatial. Each piece emerges through a layered process of adding, removing, and responding.

A Monumental Collaboration

Also available is a large-scale collaborative painting made with artist Lars Gangdal during a winter 2025 residency at Duplex AIR in Lisbon.

‘Entre Duas Mãos’ (Between Two Hands) is a 210 × 340 cm mixed media piece created using spray paint, oil sticks, markers, and acrylics. The work reflects a raw and spontaneous exchange between the two artists — built up layer by layer without a fixed plan. The result is bold, expressive, and deeply process-driven.
