Canadian-born artist Ramona Nordal began her art exploration at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, British Columbia. Here she focused on colour theory, anatomy drawing and painting. Her ambitious use of colour and style of acrylic painting create an overwhelming sense of energy in her work. Nordal thrives on deliberately mixing past and present cultural influences in her subject matter and the end result is both captivating and refreshing. Her work is a representation of one’s journey to a new beginning or the future. The subjects in Nordal’s paintings offer a glimpse into her view of the “New Generation” as she sees it today and as she sees it in the future. Her color palette and subject matter create human portrayal full of warmth and energy. “The random collaboration of old and new is important to me because this is how I see the new generation. It is the mixture of traditional and unconventional that attracts us and takes us on a fresh new journey.”
