Description
In the first episode of the Have You Seen? series, Carrie chats with Alexis Nunnelly, a visual artist and painted based in Queens, NYC.
Inspired by the sensualities and non-linear timelines of nature, Alexis' paintings are bold and powerful color showcases in acrylic and oil images. Each created from collages of lush landscapes and surreal worlds all cradling sensual, femme figures. Nodding to romantic masters by studying their lyrical compositions — she reimagines timeless narratives using the nuances of her personal experiences.
From Carrie:
"In our chat, Alexis took me into her world where digital and traditional art blend to create these amazing, dreamlike scenes. Take her piece “Cosmic Reverie” – it’s like stepping into a dream. You see a figure floating in a starry sky, surrounded by swirling galaxies. It’s peaceful and full of wonder. Her imagination really knows how to captivate and surprise!"
