BIOGRAPHY
Abstract - Contemporary Artist
Nicola Parente creates expressive abstract paintings from his studio in Houston, Texas. Born in Italy, he draws from a rich Italian heritage and a deep well of cross-cultural experiences to bring his art to life. Working in a variety of media and formats, Parente engages the viewer in dialogues regarding the universal phenomenon of human encounter.
Parente’s new series, “The Edge of Urban Time”, examines our human encounters with the urban environment. Inspired by the re-gentrification of metropolitan communities, his art defines the intersection of daily urban life and the timeless multi-cultural celebration, with red as the symbolic color of the heartbeat and life of the city. His paintings capture the fluidity and static elements of the urban matrix, referencing the architectonic images, reflections, and rhythms of its landscape.
