About Me


Art is passion, truth, awareness, vision, vulnerability, the beautiful, the ugly... Art is Life and then some! The world of an Artist is one closer to reality than the eye alone can perceive at first glance... The canvas, the guitar, the clay, the pen, the lens.. are only tools of expression. I am gratefull for this addiction that is to create.
Inspired by travel, emotion, music and life’s whispers, my pieces capture powerful moments and express feelings or thoughts that these situations awake in all of us. Experience in acting, writing, digital art, photography and music has given me the ability to capture a moment and frame it forever on canvas. My art is a combination of contemporary figurative and abstract styles. Self-taught, I have adopted oil painting to express my vision using colour, movement and vulnerability to produce “strings”, which I define as “that which evokes a personal journey to one that dares experience the painting”. I believe a painting is an open window to the artist’s soul as well as a mirror to the souls of those who dare experience it.

"Nadia El has an incredible ability to transform feelings from the mind spirit and soul onto canvas, she is a very talented artist that has lived in such cities as Toronto, Paris and London exploring her connection to the world and how this connection will in turn help her to produce even more beautiful art. She is one of the good people of our time and needs to be recognized"- Santino Marella
Nadia El presents the Art Experience:
London Artist Nadia EL Painter since 2003 lived in Toronto Canada when introducing ART EXPERIENCE as an innovative way to exhibit art. Art Experience I (2004) “love and war” was a multi media art show featuring her paintings and other artistic mediums inspired by her works (writing/music/photography/video editing). "Art is about emotion and by using multiple mediums it helps my audience take the same emotional journey and gain a deeper understanding of the art they are viewing."- the artist.
"The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments."- Gustave Flaubert

I'd like to meet:

_Creative spirits with inspiring stories, a sense of humor and a good Heart.
_The round pegs in the square holes.

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the trouble makers. The round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change things, they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do".

"There are moments when one feels free from one's own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable; life and death flow into one, and there is neither evolution nor destiny; only Being." - Albert Einstein
