Talya Nelson is a figurative painter depicting New York City and beyond, with a focus on people in their environment—on the train, at home, being together. She works from reference photos from her daily life. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, Nelson's paintings capture the rhythms and intimacy of urban life. Her practice is rooted in observation, translating the fleeting moments of everyday experience into considered compositions. ** Nelson's artwork is currently showing at Miriam West Village, 140 Seventh Ave South New York, NY ***
