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 communitiesOver 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.
