An Interview with Nunzio Miano:
FG: How did you get started doing what you do?
NM: I've been painting, drawing and generally making
things since I was a child. I used to ask all my aunties and uncles to sit for
me and I would draw their portrait, I would have been about 8 years old. I wish
I still had the drawings. I did however take a different path with my studies,
and had a 20 year career in fashion and design. I returned to my art practice
about 10 years ago and began exhibiting around 6 years ago.
FG: How would you describe your art today?
NM: My art is an emotional response to the world around me and my observations. My
subject matter can be quite dark or light depending on my mood, but it always
has a sense of emotion. My art is very intuitive. It's been described as
flamboyant and expressive by some notable industry curators, and I can really
relate to that description.
FG: What's your inspiration?
NM: Every day life, contrasted with my upbringing, my feelings and what is
happening around me. It is always a balance of past and present, mashed up
together in the work.
FG: What wouldn’t you do without?
NM: I can't paint without music and lots of cups of herbal tea. For some reason if
I don't have the right music playing and a cup of tea to the side, I can't seem
to get into my groove.
FG: What do you need to feel happy?
NM: I'm only ever happy when I feel a sense of accomplishment. If I haven't
achieved something within the day, I feel down. That sense of accomplishment is
vital to my existence. It works well with my art practice and drives me to keep
creating.
