Nina Camplin is an artist based in Neath Port Talbot, Wales. From the mid 90’s she began painting murals, specialising in trompe l’oeil. She is interested in challenging perceptions of space and creating scenes of faked realities, such as windows, doors and broken walls that open up the flat surface of the wall to give the viewer the optical illusion of an additional dimension beyond.

 

When she isn’t painting murals, Nina likes to spend time in her studio exploring new techniques and ideas.

Her work varies from abstract to photo realistic, depending upon the current project she is working on. She likes to paint onto recycled canvasses, feeling that they already have a lot of colour and texture, which provides more depth and character to a surface, rather than working on a clean, white, brand new canvas.
