Nova Starling

Acrylics, Oils, & Digital Imagery

Nova  Starling is a Bay Area artist living in the Livermore Valley Region and  currently working in acrylics, oil and digital imagery. Her inspiration  comes from  a variety of sources available through sensory experience: a  glimpse, an impression, a touch, an emotion, the change of light over  time, an  unusual point of view, the human condition. Some of these  experiences  have been captured in her photography which is later used  as reference in the process of creating her paintings. She likes to  string elements  together making associations that render a new  perspective. She enjoys telling a story through metaphors and symbols.  This is usually how the  surreal works come together. 


Another  theme in her work is seen in the portraits of individuals where they  start to merge with their  environment. She combines the subject’s  physical nature with either symbols or metaphors for what drives their  lives and integrates them into their universe. 


Nova  says she prefers to create a body of work with a theme so that she can  explore her interests more  thoroughly and take the viewer on the same  journey. She recently finished a set of abstract landscapes of the local  vineyards and the Livermore Valley. Although representing natural  forms, they are really all about color and its vibration. She said that  she could not expect to  bring all the unique experiences that a given  viewer brings to a given  moment. But she could perhaps set up a  sensation in the viewer through  the vibration created by the  juxtaposition of intense and contrasting  colors. That vibration was  intended to be similar to the feeling of a sense of wonder that the  viewer experiences when coming upon a sight that is to them amazing. 


Nova’s  work is in private collections across the country and has won many   awards. Her creative path has drawn her to investigate almost all media   in both applied and fine arts. She received a Masters in Design from  U.C. Berkeley with primary focus on metalwork. She went on to operate  her own design firm, creating products for the gift and fashion market.  Her designs have been displayed nationally from 5th Avenue in New York  to Union Square in San Francisco. Since 1997 Nova has been painting as  well as working with computer imagery. Much of her work is or will be  available as limited edition giclée prints.
