About

Nina Pascal is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores autobiography, identity and memory. Through a research and process-led approach, she draws on archival and personal material to make figurative work about lived experience and the feeling that sits underneath it.

In her projects, ordinary things become carriers of memory and emotion. Garments, receipts, domestic objects and personal ephemera are treated as traces of the self. Cinema is a strong influence on how she works, and she manipulates cropping, composition and perspective to set scenes that bring an internal feeling to the surface. Immigration and the diasporic experience run through much of her practice, shaping questions of alienation, belonging and selfhood.

She works across different media with painting at the centre, often bringing in collage, photography and other processes, turning the personal and the everyday into work that asks to be looked at closely.
