Nelly Drell

Nelly Drell’s oil paintings create a deep, contemplative mood that comes from spectacular fusions of realism, symbolism and expressionism. Born and based in Estonia and trained in New York and Miami, Drell’s work reflects a very clear sense of place and identity informed by a broader, worldlier aesthetic perspective. Her nudes, city scenes and landscapes blend keen, exquisitely rendered observations of everyday moments painted with meticulous brushstrokes with more enigmatic, abstract implications echoed in thicker daubs of paint and broad gestures.

Drell portrays a familiar world with uncanny depth.
