I aim to create vibrant, accessible, warm and emotionally engaging paintings.
Originally from Australia but now based in Brighton, UK, I've had a deep, lifelong passion for drawing and painting.
My work is mainly focussed on expressionist portraiture and figurative works with an emphasis on colour, shape and texture, often exploring the inner-self or relationships between individuals.
I'm often exhibiting in and around Brighton where I have a dedicated studio space. If you'd like to purchase works, see them in person, or discuss anything related to my artwork, please contact me at novak@novakjames.com
