Italian-born, American Nicola Parente is a reductive abstract artist. He garners inspiration from observation of movement and light, translated into an enduring, nurturing, and sublime vision of our world. Parente’s artistic vision explores his perceptions of the diversity of culture and nature encountered while living and traveling on multiple continents. Parente’s studio practice includes painting, installations, photography, sculpture, civic art, set design, and textile design. His interdisciplinary work surveys the ever-changing impact to our landscape and communities

Over the last two decades, Parente has exhibited in major international museums and gallery shows including Manuel Felguerez Museum of Abstract Art (Zacatecas, Mexico), Museo de Guadalupe (Zacatecas, Mexico), The Art Car Museum (Houston), and Serenade Art House (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia), as well as a touring exhibition between Esbjerg Denmark and Houston Texas.
