"The artist's eye is a mirror reflecting her subjects onto the surface before her. With her brush she sings a song of the soul - of who they were in this world at this fleeting moment in time."

-Nicole Warner

Nicole Warner Art | Classical Realist Portrait Artist

Welcome to the official online gallery of Nicole Warner, an academic fine art painter and classical realist portrait artist based in Zürich, Switzerland.

Specializing in highly detailed oil paintings, Nicole creates luminous, custom portraits of both people and pets by commission. Following the traditions of the old masters, each piece is meticulously crafted using an initial monochromatic underpainting followed by layers of transparent and semitransparent glazes. This timeless technique brings striking depth, character, and life to every custom painting. Explore the portfolio to view sample oil portraits and fine art collections.
