Nicolas Prins

After receiving his MA in Painting from LUCA Brussels, Nicolas now teaches and lives in Amsterdam, Netherlands. “Art for me is about being able to convey the drama of someone who has been abandoned and how they can survive in this world. Being a person of colour and mixed heritage, queer, and immigrant, I have no difficulty finding subjects for my paintings. In them, I see myself as a film director composing dreamy narratives from unrelated source materials creating an uncanny and often dramatic scene.”
