The Tates, London I recently had the chance to visit London with my fellow fine art students from Parc Menai, North Wales, and it was a great experience. We explored the Tates and its exhibitions, each offering something unique and thought-provoking. The highlight for me was Anthony McCall’s light exhibition—his work was immersive and unlike anything I’d seen before. I was also fascinated by the variety of paintings on display; seeing the brushwork up close gave me a deeper appreciation for the artists’ individual styles & their personalities. #fineartdegree #adamnelsonart #northwalesartist #tatemodern #tatebritain #tatecollective #anthonymccall #edatkins #albertogiacometti

'𝙳𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢' "Duality" is an abstract photographic print that plays with shadows and tones to explore contrast. Light and dark dance across the frame, creating a quiet tension. It feels both present and distant, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect on balance, opposites, and the spaces in between. #adamnelsonart #northwaleartist #FineArtdegree

'Ø₩Ⱡ' Inspired by a recent trip to the Tate Modern & Tate Britain. Two photographic prints have been abstracted and blended, resulting in a unique composition. The fusion creates a visually dynamic piece that feels both familiar and entirely new. This innovative approach reimagines traditional patterns, offering a fresh perspective through layered textures, colours, and forms. The result is modern, expressive, and original. #adamnelsonart #northwalesartist #fineartdegree #tatemodern

'𝑭𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆' I'm continuing my experimental journey, staying playful and open to new ideas. I enjoy exploring different creative paths, mixing things up, and discovering fresh layers to add to my prints. It's all about curiosity, fun, and letting my work grow in unexpected, exciting ways. #gustavedore #divinecomedy #dante #conceptprint #conceptart #fineartdegree #adamnelsonart #stiwdiobrynteg #celf

'𝑵𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆...' Today, I played around with Adobe Photoshop and brought together pieces from five of Gustave Doré’s original works to create a fresh abstract image. Gustave Doré was a 19th-century French artist known for his dramatic, detailed illustrations of literary classics like The Divine Comedy and Don Quixote. #gustavedore #FineArtdegree #conceptart #conceptprint #abstract #stiwdiobrynteg #adamnelsonart

'𝐉𝐀𝐍' Jan, you were our muse— life drawing etched in our hearts, lines shaped by your light. Rest in Peace

I’ve been exploring the cyanotype process in my studio on Anglesey, creating each print by instinct. No two editions are the same. They each come with their little imperfections bringing a sense of charm, depth, and emotion. Every piece feels personal, with their own story and unique character. (A small selection of these unframed editions on cotton rag paper will be available for @angleseyartsweeks at Stiwdio Bryn Teg @bryntegceramics) #cyanotype #fineartdegree #emergingartist #northwalesartist #adamnelsonart #stiwdiobrynteg

'Quercus' Today I found a quiet moment between Anglesey Open Studios to put together a video from my recent time away in The Peaks. It felt good to pause, reflect and create. I hope my art encourages others to slow down too, and rediscover that calming connection with nature we all need sometimes.

''𝐜ᗩ𝓀Ⓔ 𝒾ş ά ђＵ𝕄𝒶𝓃 ŘᎥق𝕙ţ!' I love exploring photography and print in a playful way. As an emerging artist, I enjoy layering textures and bringing in bold, fresh colours. It’s all about having fun, staying curious, and letting creativity lead the way as I experiment and express myself through vibrant, dynamic visuals. #fineartdegree #northwaleartist #adamnelsonart #conceptualart #contemporary #abstractprint #modern art.

'Untitled' I’ve been experimenting with different digital media and photography to create something that feels fresh and unique. The bright, vibrant colours I use almost clash with the natural scenes they’re set in—but that contrast is what makes it interesting. I aim to blend the real & the digital in a bold way. #adamnelsonart #northwalesartist #stiwdiobrynteg #fineartdegree #conceptualart #emergingartist

Oranges

indivisible This abstract print represents the visual exploration of our connection to nature. Exploring the value of human experience within the natural world, portraying unity, vulnerability, and coexistence. The piece invites viewers to contemplate humanity’s role in preserving and harmonising with the environment. #adamnelsonart #northwalesartist #emergingartist #fineartdegree #digitalart #stiwdiobrynteg #abstract #contemporaryartist #modernart #conceptualart

'Untitled' Sometimes, work takes me away from North Wales, and though I miss it, I find inspiration in new places. Every journey brings fresh sights, sounds, and ideas that spark my creativity. These experiences stay with me, shaping my perspective and adding new layers to the way I see the world. #adamnelsonart #northwalesartist #stiwdiobrynteg #journeyart #peakdistrict

From a young age, I have always considered myself a free but restless spirit—a non-conformist who seeks the thrill of new experiences and the freedom to explore. I think I have inherited this restless spirit from my ancestors and their desire to venture far and wide. Immersing myself in the cultures and landscapes of distant places. My family’s adventurous spirit can be traced back to the days when my ancestors braved the stormy Atlantic seas aboard the Mayflower. I honestly think that my willingness to leave behind everything familiar in search of a new beginning in a land far from home is a legacy that has been passed down through generations. Art has become my escape. It provided me with a way to relax, reflect, and reconnect with myself. Over time, I began exploring photography and art. Art has allowed me to express my emotions in a more abstract form. As an artist, I find myself deeply inspired by the works of (Katsushika) Hokusai and (Utagawa) Hiroshige, two renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artists whose masterpieces continue to resonate with me. Their approach to art, particularly their use of geometric shapes and the way they connect these forms to the natural world has also shaped my artistic philosophy. I have a fascination with the interplay between simple forms and nature. It influences how I approach my work. I also find beauty in the minimalism of Neolithic architecture like the standing stones & circles with their ability to evoke a sense of reverence for the natural world. In my art, I seek to create pieces that echo this simplicity—using lines and shapes that evoke natural forms, whether it's the curve of a tree branch or the angularity of a mountain range. Life has been a fascinating journey of change, discovery, and personal growth. I am excited to explore the limitless possibilities that creativity offers. #adamnelsonartist #stiwdiobrynteg #fineartdegree #northwalesartist

'20 Agony' Agony Transcription series...😊✨️ #FineArt #fineartdegree #print #line #streetphotography #contemporaryartist #contemporary #conceptualart #conceptual #modernism #modernart #modern

MӨПDΛY Inspired & transcripted from 'Agony in the Garden'. Layers of various print and drawings incorporating modern colours. Through experimentation, I reimagine the classic scene with a contemporary twist. A blend of 21st-century aesthetics to create a fresh, dynamic interpretation of this timeless moment. #FineArt #fineartdegree #conceptual #contemporaryartist #contemporary #modern #modernism #adamnelsonart #stiwdiobrynteg

𝗔𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 It's begining to look like an agony transcription series...!!😅 Combinination of print, graphical lines, and photographs to create a layered artwork. This approach modernises the transcription, making it more relevant to 2025 rather than focusing on a historical context. The composition integrates multiple visual elements to reflect contemporary themes and perspectives. #FineArt #fineartdegree #contemporaryartist #contemporary #modernism #modernart #conceptualart #contemporaryart #contextualstudies #transcriptionart #adamnelsonart #northwalesartist #stiwdiobrynteg
