Andrea Nova is a San Diego-based artist known for employing vibrant oil paints to capture the world around her. Her paintings invite viewers to immerse themselves in the realm of her artwork, blending everyday surroundings with imaginative daydreams.

Step into a world of vibrant beauty with my collection of colorful oil paintings inspired by Kauai's captivating landscape. Each artwork aims to bring to life the lush flora, majestic trees, and colorful flowers that make the island so enchanting. Whether it's local scenes or breathtaking vistas, these paintings will transport you and make you feel like you're truly there. Immerse yourself in the essence of Kauai and experience its beauty from the comfort of your own home.
I employ bright and colorful palettes, and infuse each of my still lifes with a sense of joy. These oil paintings are sure to brighten any space they inhabit, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere. I love capturing the essence of everyday objects, arranging them in imaginative and visually captivating ways. With their lively colors and playful arrangements, these still life paintings invite viewers to appreciate the beauty and magic found in the simplest of things.
'En Plein Air' is the French expression for 'In the Open Air.' It refers to the practice of painting directly from life outdoors. This challenging method gained popularity with the French Impressionists when paint became available in tubes. It experienced a resurgence centuries later with various American painting groups.
Plein Air painting holds a significant place in my artistic practice. I use these outdoor sessions to create small studies, capturing the nuances of light and color in nature. Additionally, they serve as a valuable resource for larger studio pieces. Occasionally, I decide to complete final works on location, making them available for collectors.
"Andrea listened to my hopes for my custom painting and even thought of things I hadn’t. I Can’t wait to work with her again on another piece”
