Nick Blackburn

I paint colourful abstracts and do 3D modeling. My subject matter ranges from patterns, to people, interiors, the planets and nature.  I also enjoy researching art history.

As well as working in the Pablos studio I have also completed a foundation year at the Learning Connexion, the school of art and creativity in Wellington.

When I was a child I used to read a comic called 2,000 AD which had a big influence on my imagination. The main character was a futuristic cop and story plots ranged from the scientific through to the futuristic.

I think it’s important to keep open to everything that’s happening in the world.-  I’m always writing down ideas and poems. As well as art, acting, music and dance have always been part of my life.. When I was young I auditioned for and won child parts in productions like Oklahoma, Jesus Christ Superstar and Camelot. I acted in TV commercials and played a part in the movie Skin Deep.
