Serena Nassini aka Nassini Fine Art : Overview
I am a versatile mid-career Italian artist from Leeds, UK. My artworks span acrylics, oils, drawing, installations, mixed media, watercolours, video art, relational art and performance art, merging traditional and contemporary styles into a unique narrative informed by an interdisciplinary and empowering research. Dive into my recent artwork „Ki Do Ai Raku” (on my youtube channel Nassini Fine Art).
As a clarinetist and educator, my artistry goes beyond the canvas. With a BA in Painting and Visual Art from Naba University in Milan and from the San Francisco State University and an Master of Arts Degree in Artist-Teachers and Contemporary Practices from the Goldsmiths University of London, I showcased my artworks in 29 exhibitions and 26 live concerts globally, advocating for consciousness and health.
I view art as a tool for research and positive change, addressing topics like health, global health, freedom, eco-intersectional trans feminism, equality, human rights and self actualisation. My interdisciplinary approach empowers people to live healthy, truthful and fulfilling lives.
Notable Experiences: Over 13 years of artistic work across the UK, Italy, Greece, and the USA. I led over 1000 contemporary, empowering, fun and accessible art classes with various clients and companies. I create and collaborate with Nassini Fine Art, CreArtives, Ascendance and Best Childcare as a freelance Visual Artist, Teaching Artist and Lead Atelierista. Nassini Fine Art is my own business where I make, share and sell my own artworks. I also work on commissions for companies and individuals.
Through my platform nassinifineart.com I share handmade works created for and with many communities. The platform offers carbon-neutral fine art prints, commissions and a monthly newsletter, aiming to spread empowering, emotional and thought-provoking pieces.
My work blends arts-based research and critical pedagogy, inviting deep reflection. My daily practice as a painter, conceptual visual artist and musician/performer offers profound engagement, contrasting with modern life’s busyness and dominant values.
