Chloë Nuñez Garcia
Abstract Surrealism
Chloë Nuñez Garcia (b. 1991, Antwerp) is a prominent artist recognized for her distinctive style of "abstract surrealism." With a deep fascination for the essence and vibrancy of imagery, Chloë masterfully blends collage and photography, which she translates onto canvas using oil paint. Her work is characterized by a vivid palette, reflecting her dynamic energy and intense nature.
Chloë's artistic journey began at a young age, leading her to formal studies in Visual Arts and Portraiture. Her passion for collage truly blossomed during her time in an art collective in Canada, where she honed her unique approach to visual storytelling. Her creations invite viewers to explore their own narratives, with each piece often containing a personal element, even if its meaning remains enigmatic.
Drawing inspiration from her personal experiences, Chloë's art subtly explores themes of femininity, alienation, and the evolving role of women in society, while also celebrating the joy of summer and the richness of color. Influences from artists such as Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven are evident in her exploration of female presence, while the realism of Edward Hopper and David Hockney informs her approach to composition and light.
As a bilingual artist, Chloë collaborates with her father to craft evocative titles for her works, integrating storytelling deeply into her creative process. With a rich and varied background, Chloë Nuñez Garcia continues to make a significant impact in the world of abstract surrealism, offering a unique perspective that challenges and inspires.
“I am into art because of the aesthetic aspect. Images arise in my mind and come to expression in my work. They have to emerge. It feels like an absolute necessity.”
