'' As an E-painter, I am incorporating my previous painting skills as an oil painter with my technical knowledge acquired from Digital Photography. I create my E-Paintings organically from my mind, using my stylus as my brush and my touch screen laptop as if it were my Canvas. Having a hands on approach every step of the creative process is essential to myself as an artist.''- Artist Nicole Martinelli Nature has always captivated me with its natural beauty and the solace it offers. As an artist and photographer, it is my duty to both capture and create beauty. My artworks prompt us to value nature, our environment, and to conserve, cherish and utilize our natural resources as nature naturally intended.''-Artist, Photographer Nicole Martinelli “If my art can inspire, raise awareness, provoke thought, and evoke emotions offering solace, peace ,and happiness to others as I have found through my own artistic practices, then I have fulfilled my artistic goal.’’– Artist Nicole Martinelli “During these ever changing times among mankind. one thing that never changes is the solitude and beauty of nature that surrounds us. I have always been captivated by the beauty nature naturally offers us all Nature never falters and is always there for you! During the storms we are presented with through out our lives; there is always an ocean or a stream to catch your tears and a sunset to brighten our lives."- Artist, Nicole Martinelli '' We all hold the pen and the brush, and the power to bloom to our full potential. You are limitless." — Nicole Martinelli Nicole Martinelli is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist and photographer, and the pioneer of an entirely new art form: the hand-painted E-Painting. Represented by Toolip Art Gallery in Vienna, Austria, she has exhibited in 45 prominent galleries and museums through curated national and international exhibitions across the United States and Europe, with further inclusions confirmed for October–November 2026. Her work has been exhibited alongside some of the most celebrated names in art, including Yoko Ono, Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, Shepard Fairey, and Gabo. It has been selected by distinguished jurors including Sandy Gellis, Crista Dix (Griffin Museum of Photography), Nancy Lim (SFMOMA), Armando Garcia, and legendary musician Billy Corgan, and is held in private collections worldwide. Career highlights include a five-month juried exhibition in Gstaad, Switzerland (2024); Weaving Dreams, Living Time (Lecce, 2025); Barcelona Contemporary (2025); Firenze Contemporary 2026; Le Temple des Rêves (Lecce); Women's Generation 2026 (Lecce); the Lecce Arredo Fair (2025, 2026); Bloom, Texture, and Abstrakta (2026); Natural Flow, 2nd Edition (Lecce, 2026); and her solo exhibition at Artifact Gallery, Manhattan (2026). Martinelli was named one of MSN's Top 10 Trailblazing Women of 2026 and one of the Top 20 Most Inspirational Women of 2026 by NYC Journal, Disruptors Magazine, and Women's Herald. Drawing on her roots as an oil painter, Martinelli creates every E-Painting entirely by hand, stroke by stroke, using a stylus as her brush and a touchscreen as her canvas. Each layer of color, texture, and form is placed by her own hand with the same intuitive gestures as traditional painting, resulting in works that are unmistakably painterly and entirely of their time. Across both photography and E-Painting, her work reflects the beauty of renewal and the balance between fragility and strength, memory and rebirth. Through recurring floral and natural motifs, she explores transformation and healing, revealing the quiet resilience that connects nature and the human spirit. Each piece invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and find gratitude, a reminder that even in darkness, beauty endures. We all hold the pen and the brush, and the power to bloom to our full potential. You are limitless." — Nicole Martinelli To learn additional Information on the Artist, kindly visit the links provided below: Website: https://www.nicolesgallery.art website: https://www.nicole-martinelli.com Gallery Exhibtion, and Press information: https://www.nicolesgallery.art/nicole-martinelli-press-exhibitions Exhibtion history: https://www.nicolesgallery.art/exhibitions
